Ah, the nature of belief! So many people get belief and knowledge confused!. They think they know something (like "god exists") when in fact they only believe it!. A belief, at its core, is an emotion--a desire for something to be true, either despite a lack of supporting evidence, or in spite of evidence against it!. When a person confuses their belief with knowledge, they are letting their emotion (again, the _desire_ for something to be true) override their reason!. This has the effect of immunizing the belief from unbiased self-analysis!.

As a naturalistic atheist, my set of unprovable beliefs are quite a bit more limited than most peoples'!. But I'm also an optimist, and while I can't _prove_ that optimism is more realistic than pessimism, my personal experiences have led me to prefer it over pessimism!. I believe that humanity is gradually (over the centuries) growing more mature as a species, more civilized, more advanced, and less violent!. I believe that the future, at least long-term, will be on average better than the present, possibly much better!. And I believe that most people are inherently good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
