Beliefs are not facts, but they can be. Beliefs can be proven false in a court of law, with things called evidence. If you believe something is true, no matter how strongly you believe it, does not prove it true. Thats what facts are for. If you’re going to court facing a serious charge, believing your beliefs are the truth, and the court room that now hold all the truth, and your false beliefs are proven to be lies? By factual evidence? Take your toothbrush!, you may not be going home as soon as you’d like. You’ve been lied to by friends, Your beliefs are fact! But are they? I believe not.
