Belief vs. Truth, Hmmm.....agoodread_78May 7 2006, 17:54:06 UTC
Things that I know that can be proven and things that I know are belief. I know 2+2=4. I know that the sky is blue. I know that we live in a heliocentric solar system. I know that many of the problems caused in people's lives are caused by whatever soicio-political system in which they live. I know no one has successfuly argued that capitalism lifts all boats.
So here's what I believe. I believe that people are taught to be whatever they are. Good, bad, greedy, murderous, funny, anal, their sexual orientation, what foods they like, racist, accepting, religious, ad nauseum are all things that are taught to us either through formal education, of simply the process of learning one's culture. I bleive that there is a God. I believe that Jesus was a man and God, that He died, rose again, saved us, etc. I believe that hope for a better world is through people. I believe people can do it. I know I am optimistic. I believe I am not naive about it.

To name just a few.
