You cannot lack belief. It is psychologically impossible for sentient beings to lack belief.

I would go into brain chemistry of sociopaths etc disallowing them to feel pity but bsh1 told me never to call someone on this site a sociopath so I'll just say 'yes'.

You did. By not believing anything you forcibly failed to believe the truth regarding the matter which your hypothesis angles as the thing to solve.

See what for myself? Am I correct in understanding that you are condescending the Pagan because you have had supernatural experiences that cement things as true for you but when I have them it's wrong? Alright.

The things in this world will not ultimately lead to satisfaction.
because you say so.
Only God can grant that peace that surpasses understanding.
because you say so.
God and Satan are not the same. Christianity is not what you think it is.
because?

Scamming people of hundred of dollars by faking poverty and then ditching the moment you can do something worthwhile as president of DDO where your vice president gave you over $200 to save you from what he thought was poverty speaks for itself.
If you really are Mikal, just know I knew what the fuck you were playing at start-to-finish. I wonder still, to this day, if bluesteel was conned or got a cut. If he got a cut I misjudged him and loathe him but if not (and I am betting on him getting conned) I respect him immensely as he proved to be a very noble individual and was a better vote-mod than whiteflame by far (but not better voter or overall user by a tiny margin less).

Under those circumstances I simply feel the most reasonable thing is to not form a belief
but that is GUARANTEED failure.

I am now very, very certain you are Mikal but why the fuck would you throw away your ability to climb this site etc by getting your IP and hardware signature blacklisted?
Mikal would operate like this and is quite a cunty sociopath when he wants to be (and intelligent psychopath when he wants to be as well hence the Elo). He was a specialist in rap battles and was allied to Thett who is one of the only people who didn't loathe him (Mikal) after he left.
I was always curious if 'justmichael' and 'Mike' AKA the Admin were Mikal but this has helped me a lot.

You are unblocked you can @ me
Pls read PM you are unblocked now, our feud is over in my eyes. I was irritated by goldtop who I still have severe beef with and he will be dealt with soon by moderation as he is target-bullying not just me but ethang and others.
You came at a time when he had me very riled up and I had not had the best day so I snapped and blocked you to stop 'snapping' in a more overt way,
Care about believing falsehoods
If you operate under your mentality (which I admit is what science we are taught at school brainwashed us into following) you end up always believing falsehoods. Ultimately your conclusion would be 'there is no colour of the ball' or 'the ball is all colours' and both are absolutely 100% guaranteed failure conclusions (atheism is not a case of guaranteed failure, in reality the chaos and randomness could have made all this happen at random so with that case it's that God has proven herself in so many ways, for me, and that that order of events makes more sense but I'm actually as atheist as you when it comes to the origin being random and not 'organised in a divine way' it's all chaos prior to the original being).
So, I care about believing falsehoods and don't enjoy realising I believed them but the pain is so small compared to the pleasure-burst of realising I was so right all along. I am not the type to fall for every conspiracy theory whatsoever but also not the type to go 'nutjob' as a reflex response.

Dude, you may be laughing at this but it is pathetic and unimaginative trolling. I know when a troll is fucking good at what they do. Imabench was one of them in his prime and another top-tier troll still now is Thett but you don't get that Thett is using you (if you really are not Thett) to look dumb, get banned and make him laugh.

@secularmerlin
So no claim needs to be demonstrated ever and all should be accepted equally with or without proof?
Correct. For all I know the strangers have far more than 5 senses and/or far superior intellect and RANGE ON their senses such that they can perceive what to me 'makes no sense'. You cannot explain to a deaf person why you know the sound coming from a source is definitely of a certain pitch but what a fool she/he'd be to fold the hand rather than all-in. You wanna play like a pussy, you gonna end up in the dirt (and yes, so will those that bet wrong). Guaranteed failure is the least-safe strategy there is.
From how I am fluctuating between #1 and #3 consistently on the site's leaderboard (soon will be permanently #1 I predict Dec 15th or so) to how I ended up doing many things IRL that made no sense to people that failed and/or succeeded in hardcore ways, I am that one guy who will risk in all cases where not risking is guaranteed failure. When people say 'play it safe' it can indeed be the wiser option but more often than not it's the simpler, not wiser, option whereby one guarantees they never have got the highest reward they could out of the long term trades they engaged in.
I am not a flat-earther, a theist and furthermore a good debater (who puts too much effort into a seemingly fruitless skill and passion) because I just fancy being that way, I am actually looking at clues in reality and my life as well as other people and their advice in order to come up with the best way to be and live.
People who operate with your mentality can never ever be right about something insanely hard to find out, they will always guarantee being wrong about it because it's safer to admit you're wrong than risk thinking you're right in their eyes.
Safe =/= Simple
You are not 'safe' when you are having a strategy of reasoning and pursuing a goal that guarantees failure.

I know what you're trying to do and I know exactly why I am not an atheist among many other things I believe based on my alternative outlook on burden of proof. I would bet purple and it would not be rejecting both but accepting both, you just don't get it yet.

he has essentially laid out that there's DEFINITELY 1 ball and it's 1 colour only so I didn't want to force more details of the hypothesis than I was already pushing for.

You are oftentimes a liar even to yourself but since in this scenario you are not I am able to operate on honesty from your part and know too little of the friend to alter the scaling (and I have other issues about your thought process IQ etc but I am not going to go into it unless you let me because of the CoC).

@secularmerlin
Well I know you so do I have permission from you to personally divulge into criticism and deep analysis of your personality traits from what I've seen from you on the site?
If I didn't know you and if it wasn't your friend (him being your friend and not a stranger to you played into it), but knowing that both person 1 and person 2 think completely it's red and blue I would absolutely bet on purple.
However, since I know you and know this is a friend of yours I can judge you and your general friends and the kind of friend who'd disagree with you on their view on a base-fact type thing and work from there. What I know of you thus far and of the friends you have who disagree with you on such things leads me to trust you more than them so I'd bet on red.

There's infinitely more complexity to this scenario than the original one. I'd bet on red, considering purple if I can't ask more.

Who are you trying to fool? If you're the snitch it means the people you snitched on were going to throw you under the bus if you didn't. I know the mentality you are talking of and it's hypocritical as fuck, even the white Mafias committed it.
