All we need is for Someone to Agree.

"Religion is all about belief" No, don't agree all the best urban

If you make a blanket statement as though it's fact, you have the burden of proof. Otherwise all you've stated is your beliefs.

Beliefs of some thing has been different from one to other, because everyone think that they are reach from their knowledge to the truth. And by the time, they found that they are wrong, and what they are belief has been proved as an untrue. and on the other hand unbelief of something can be realized in future that we should have to belief. So, by reading more and more, discussion and their observation for some events which has been realized an front of their eyes, get the majority of human people believe in their religion which has been sent by their God, and prove before many many years ago, the truth of that events. Truth are the fact that all people should believe sooner or later.

"If one really cares about truth, wouldn't one search for the truth themselves, regardless of what others say?? Instead, isn't it more about wanting to be right than the truth??" I find your statement to be odd. If right means "correct," and truth means "established fact," where is the argument? What are you suggesting the believer is saying, "It's my belief that this established fact is correct"?

Got a little bit confused. Is your question "Belief VS Truth" suggests scientific explanations in favor of truth? and Belief through faith? I have read a short story. and read it from this link: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/e/einstein-god.htm It is fun. take time and read it. :))

The truth is more valuable than beliefs IF such truth is founded on what the Bible says because God's words are truth themselves. (John 17:17) If beliefs conform to Biblical truth, then such belief won't anymore be a belief but a fact as this is supported by the Bible. As such, we need to search the truth from the Bible. If a man speaks from the Bible, you won't find iniquity from what he says. (John 7:17-18) Test this man if he says the truth: http://esoriano.wordpress.com/

Bird, I just explained something about religion and beliefs to one of my good friends :) Ok here is the repeat. Children are told right and wrong in a very simple way. They wouldnt understand words like adultery, pedophile, and rape. However, they can understand robbing, and killing. So they know what is right and wrong only to that extent. They come across a person who robs. Obviously they are going to say the person is wrong. But there might be some valid reason for the person to "rob", a reason that justifies such robbing, at least for a short while. But the child would say this person robbed - effectively wearing "You are wrong" attitude. Now, the child comes across a situation in which he or she has to compromise on values. Of course, he has a choice. But the other end is not desirable at all. Therefore, child compromises. Now he gets dejected - thinking all that he knew so far is wrong. Effectively, he has reached a state in which "I am wrong" rules. Finally, he come across situations in which right can become wrong, and wrong can become right. This is when he understands that action is different from him. Belief and quest for truth are part of this journey. At each stage, a person believes. But eventually, truth pulls the person out and takes him to the next stage.

Hi bird: I think I know what you mean. So many people and we are not talking only about religion, think they are right. There's nothing wrong about truly believe that what you think is truth. The problem is when intolerance comes accross and pwople want to force people to belive on their same values. That's terrible for dialogue. The problem for me is how some people feel the need to make everyone exactly the way they are. ALVARO

i value beliefs that are based on truth! i determine truth not by how many believes in it, not by who believes in it. I believe that the Bible interprets itself. so truth can be determined from the logic and consistency of the Bible.

Many people believe that when there are more people agreeing then it must have been the truth. Just as when people are trying to invest, they would search who had invested before them. So this belief is being used by all the sellers. They will promote their products citing that this celeb or this politician does it. Maybe if it also use by the religion sellers?

Have you ever heard of epistemology. I suggest you read this and think about it. If not then please look into it yourself. It may or may not help you. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/epistemology/

Philosophers have been seeking to understand truth since the beginning of time. Scientists look for truth. For really tough questions like is there another planet in the universe that is similar to earth is an unattainable question. NASA launched a probe into the dark of space for the purpose of discovering new possible planets in a solar system like ours somewhere out there in the universe. We are looking at dots of light and using primitive colour spectrums that might suggest a star has planets revolving around it. We are so far away from finding a truthful answer it is not funny, yet anyone could put forth a theory or postulate some philosophical argument about that but is certainly not truth. If finding the truth about another planet like earth in the universe is such an unimaginable one, how hard really is the question does God exists. Absolute technical proof is not available nor is it reasonable to assume there will be any. Yet people who belief do know without doubt and without evidence. How can this be? Yet, that is true. Those that choose not to believe can not be shown anything or convinced if they wish to choose not to believe. It is really up to the individual. For me, the bible gave me insights, that’s all, not proofs. One such insight was when Jesus was approached and asked, “what is truth?” They were seeking to trick him for it can be argued that ‘truth’ does not exist only claims. However Jesus did not argue with them for he simply said, “I am the truth.” I never suggest to any person what they ‘must’ do. I believe everyone has free will and can decide for themselves what they wish to believe. I too have the same right and will never allow myself to be pulled into believing a lie that God does not exist. So to answer the question I choose to believe in God and trust in Jesus Christ. In my life time, I asked questions and got the true answer from a multitude of sources. May there be peace in the world.
