... J W Apps wrote that a belief is what we accept as truth. In analyzing this statement, we must first consider what we understand by the terms belief and truth. ... For example, most people believe that what we eat and drink will not be contaminated but whether we accept this as true may vary through individual experiences. Recent cases of children being violently ill after drinking Coca Cola, which was contaminated, would cause some to alter their automatic acceptance of this belief as true. ... When someone decided to question that belief no one would believe him because they knew the Earth was square. ... The things we belief to be true today, may be seen as invalid in future years. ...
In considering beliefs, and whether they are based on what we accept as truth, we should also consider Religion.
Many Religious beliefs are not, necessarily, based on what we accept as the truth. ... However, Darwinism, a theory of Evolution, shattered this Christian belief. ... Darwins theory made people question their beliefs for the first time and the fact that evidence supported his theory meant that the Christian belief would be seen as false. Religious people may also find great comfort in their religion because it many claim to wash away ones sins and forgive people of the mistakes they have made.
