Quote:I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there. If A doesn't exist, then the belief that A exists is false.It makes the belief wrong, not false. A belief isn't a statement of fact, but a statement of that which the believer thinks is correct.
For example, if I say, 'I believe there are no gods' after at least one god is proven to exist, the statement is still true, as long as I hold it sincerely. This is precisely the condition that holds when people express belief that ETs built the pyramids or that Loch Ness is home to a plesiosaur.
