The idea that truth exists only in blind belief is illogical. Many truths are hidden and undiscovered, some are merely accepted~ such as gravity, and the fact that I have discworld quotes all over my walls. I don't blindly believe it, I see it and accept it (and think is my handwriting really that terrible without lines?) Side: There are such things

True beliefs can only be defined by one's actions and are not independent from this, but based solely upon this. I believe that if I saw a crime being committed that I would intervene. Having stated this and then later witnessing a crime, one can then state it was either a true belief of a false one. Side: There are such things

Belief is a synonym of faith, both of which have no requirements of proof or basis of fact. Any belief is potentially false, unless the reason for the belief is based on concrete evidence that can be tested, but once one gets to that point it is no longer belief. Side: Beliefs are fallible
