All belief is false
Why is it so? It isn't really. A belief is neither false nor true. At least, we can't know if a belief is true or false. If we could it wouldn't be belief, it would be knowledge. Since we can't know, any claims about the veracity of belief are equally valid. Hence: All belief is false (or true).

I'm believing this, but now I'm not believing.
This is complicated. *Watches it fly over my head*
Wonderfully clever.

Thank you! I have discussed this more and no one has been able to disprove it. All belief could be false or it could be true. We can't know since it's unknown. It it was known it wouldn't be belief.
