belief-relief

the sense of liberation when long held beliefs seem to have fallen away; when it’s realised that there’s no longer a default to old programs/factory settings etc

There was belief-relief in realising that I didn’t have to be accomplished/ respectable/worthy/ confident.. etc etc

Belief in God is WHATEVER I DO AND NOT THE THING I DON'T DO 

No it isn't Jordan! No it isn't! This is You trying to reframe what constitutes belief to justify taking all of that Christian money. To believe in THE CHRISTIAN GOD is to believe that THE THINGS IN THE BOOK DID, ARE, AND WILL HAPPEN, Jordan. Is the Christian God THERE Jordan. Is it THERE and does it have the attributes it is depicted to have in the bible OR.... OR... IS IT NOT THERE, Jordan? Is that A THING THAT YOU THINK? DO YOU THINK THAT THE CREATURE IS THERE? IS THAT A THING YOU THINK OR DO YOU NOT THINK THAT? ARE YOU A BOY OR ARE YOU A GIRL, JORDAN?

Dr. JeepJorp Peepeestones "Belief in God is WHATEVER I DO AND NOT THE THING I DON'T DO! Ok!? So if I don't actually believe in God, then, actually believing in God isn't actually believing in God, OK!? Believing in God is something else entirely! Now... Ok!? You can't just ACTUALLY BELIEVE that God is THERE... You gotta... You gotta, like, grapple with the IDEA that it MIGHT be there! And then you gotta interpret the book so that WHATEVER YOU DO... Is doing the Book! Even if you contradict yourself AND THE BOOK! Right!? See, God (and by extension all higher-order abstractions) is whatever I need to do be, moment to moment, for me to maintain a certain level of moral superiority. So, maturity? Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment. Belief? Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment? God? You got it! Whatever I need it to be, moment to moment."

beggar's belief 

To defy or go beyond what is believable. Something so extraordinary that it can’t be believed or described coherently, almost sounding impossible or insane.

To think that within 15 years humans will not only have visited Mars, but possibly even begun the process of colonizing our solar system is just beggar's belief.

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction 

One of the best series ever created. BB:FOF went on for four seasons.

BB:FOF was a one hour show. It would show five stories (known as "segments") that were inspired by actual events (supposedly) that were "Beyond Belief". Some would be fact, and some would be fiction. It would be revealed with segments were fact or fiction at the end of the show.

The show premiered on May 1, 1997 and was last aired on September 1, 2002. FOX originally was broadcasting the show, but Sci-Fi eventually took over. The last marathon of BB:FOF ever put on Sci-Fi was back in August of 2005.

Sometimes, BB:FOF is ended with a question mark. It would sometmes be known as: Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction?

James Brolin was the original host, but Jonathon Frakes eventually replaced him.

Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction was such an awesome series. I hope it comes out on DVD.

trumpian belief 

This belief is factually proven wrong. Yet you choose to believe in the idea and to openly and whole-heartedly promote it.

justified true belief 

A belief is the acceptance of a proposition. A true belief is one that has been examined by the believer and remains a belief. We often accept propositions, only to discover later that we were wrong. Being wrong can be the result of many things: lack of other knowledge that would have caused disbelief; a persuasive argument that you later reject; the proposition was rational-sounding but it was a fallacy.

A rational proposition that is not a fallacy has justification, that is, it is 'justified'. This means the logic is sound and it has a correspondence to facts of reality. (See 'correspondence truth').

Therefore, a 'justified true belief' is one that has been shown to be logically sound, or is accepted as logically sound.

It may or may not be 'defeasible', in other words, defeatable, by a better argument. The Copernican Revolution was the defeat of Catholic justified true belief, by the arguments of Galileo who used the mathematics of Copernicus. (See 'defeator arguments' or 'defeasors')

President Kennedy had a justified true belief that we could get to the moon, because he was shown the proof, without which his belief could not have been justified.
