via placebo :)

Belief is belief no matter what belief it is, that is what makes it a belief in the first place - and since placebo explains the process and effect of belief, then what do you believe in?

You have any good religions?

How is belief scientifically proven? What belief?
I suppose it can be proven that there is such a thing as "belief", need no proof of that.
We get bombarded with all kinds of "belief" all the time.
"Belief" is not necessarily truth.

Yeah here's one.
Try believing that your own personal understanding is the ultimate defining truth, the ultimate "good", the ultimate wisdom, etc.
Mock the very concept of belief in anything higher than yourself.
Like Narcissus, fall in love with your own reflection.

That darned quote system doesn't seem to work half the time.

My last post should have read thusly.

thumbs up

There was a religious zealot in here about 1-2 years ago trying to shoot holes in my belief system. I told him I don't believe anything. I know a lot of things but they are facts or at least the latest theories but not beliefs. He coulddn't wrap hos little mind around that and finally gave up and moved on.
I know you know what I'm talkin about.

Well I am not religious ...
But I do have my beliefs on the "soul"
I don't enforce my beliefs onto others
And I don't appreciate them enforcing theirs onto me
To each their own wine

From My experience of the Scandinavian countries, belief is sometimes mixed up with reality, so your reality becomes your belief.
