beLIEve…

I believe in knowing.

3

I know that I believe in knowledge.

4

I like to know, believing is for those that still need a security blanket….

5

I believe i know

6

knowing is believing :cowboy_hat_face:

7

If you can know thats better because beliefs can be twisted or interpreted in ways that condone prison, murder and suicide
Knowing means you have to deal with facts and it raises challenges that must be overcome
Not everything can be known and you may have to work from incomplete information or to trust

I like the vagueness of this question, you do not mention if your talking about chinese lumens, organized religion or something in between.

There are a lot of people who neither claim to know or believe something is true. They are the ones that say “I feel this to be true”.

Haha and here I was expecting TK75 vs FFIV!

Feeling is almost like Knowing, in the Biblical sense…

“First Base”, in the sensual sense…

11

‘Feeling’ in the biblical sense got my face slapped….:frowning:

‘Knowing’ in the biblical sense got me married.

I believe I know where I made my mistake.

It’s kind’a difficult to believe something that you don’t know anything about. I say belief and knowledge seems to go hand in hand.

Building our own answer supported in facts approach us to the true.

The Conundrum

More than half the people who have ever been born are still alive today (A mathematical fact).
Therefore only half the people who have ever been born have died.
Upon this basis is to true to say that I believe I will one day die or that I know I will one day die.

Sometimes its difficult to differentiate between belief and knowledge.

20

Both are illusory.

M-kay…

Given that the definition of “illusory” is:
”

  1. based on illusion; not real.”

How, exactly, is Knowledge, that being
”
1.facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.”

or

” 2.awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.”

… “illusory”?
