You digged up a (pb) post of mine to tell me that I'm confused?
You forgot to tag mine as (pb) too.
>There's a difference between believing something and having an open mind and asking "is it true?"
Agreed.
Believing is always irrational.
Being openminded and asking if somethings is true is healthy.
>Everything sits upon belief.
Oh I agree.
Doesn't make it any less irrational.
>Lying newbie.
For someone claiming to have studied philosophy I'm amazed at your surface reading of my post.
>if there's anything I missed, please repeat.
I said believing (anything) is irrational.
That was a statement of observation.
You took that to mean that believing was invalid - which is not what I said.
You can believe something just as much if it's true as if it not true.
I never said believing didn't serve a purpose, psychologically - it just has not rational basis.
