Beliefs. Knowledge. Justified true belief. Justified knowledge.

All of that is to say you cannot be certain and so you go through life assigning probabilities whether consciously or subconsciously.

I think you are just hung up on the word belief. You seem to have a strange aversion to it. I don't quite get it personally with all due respect. To have knowledge without being 100% certain is to, in essence, believe something.

Almost all knowledge is a belief of some sort. 🫡

not interested in a semantic debate. If you can’t see the difference between ideology and religion vs “beliefs” you have about whether your feet will land correctly on your next walking step, I don’t think we’re gonna get anywhere.

I only originally commented because I thought the phrase "beliefs are Satans work" was funny. I did not mean to upset you.

Yes I see a difference in believing in a creator versus where your foot will land. Both use reasoning but one is based on previous empirical data and a lot of experience.

I'm agnostic. I understand different people use different reasoning for deciding what they believe about a creator. Again, wasn't trying to make you upset. 🤙🤝

No problem! Not upset — just wanted to stay on topic!
