Murphy's Law only applies if you believe in it. Right? Then belief is not ''true or false,'' but ''good or bad.''

1.) Disregarding ''absolutes'' such as mathematical facts, belief is the cause and creator of perception and reality.

2.) Each person believes a different thing.

3.) Then there is no such thing as a misconception.
  • a.) ''According to your belief, it is done unto you.''
  • b.) ''As a man thinks in his heart, so will he be.''
  • c.) ''the thing I have dreaded has come upon me!''

4.) What we choose to believe is never ''true or false;'' since those labels apply to knowledge, while faith/belief is like reaching out your arm to accomplish a task. Belief accomplishes something, while knowledge accepts what it is told. Can the incipient workings of faith be ''false?'' I reach out my arm and grab a light switch with my finger, and flick it ''ON.'' The lights turn on. Is my hand false? How would that even make sense? Beliefs accomplish something--always. They begin things. Knowledge, observed conclusions can be false. The quest for knowledge, shunning faith is all the while fueled by a faith that faith is invalid.

Seeing has NEVER been believing;
Faith has never been dependent upon proof
Faith produces its own proof.
Belief has nothing to do with an intellectual deduction.
Beliefs are measured by the merit of the things they elicit.
Belief/faith is a moral issue, not an intellectual one.
