People act, or don't act, based on their beliefs.

Oh, I dunno. You believe what you like, and you seem a nice enough fellow.

If I met Donald Trump, I wouldn't be "nice" to him. You would?

ETA: bad example.

Of course I’d be nice to him. Why wouldn’t I? His being a psychotic cunt doesn’t entitle me to be one as well.

-but there's the rub...I actually don't believe anything I like.  I couldn't, and still be a nice enough fellow.  Genuinely and deeply held beliefs are consequential...no matter what they are.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Boru - They're not always totally nice, depending on the type of stupidity, I think. Is getting an "E" grade nice?

Theism is a very specific genuinely and deeply held belief, with a long enough history of consequence to be predictable.


Do you mean that you hold beliefs that you don’t like, or that you don’t act on the beliefs you hold?
