But one definition of belief, i.e. "conviction", implies there's some logic involved. Don't you also have a narrow definition of belief, i.e. "faith"? And if belief is "free from" logic, then doesn't that mean they're mutually exclusive? Isn't that what Mr.parsec has been saying all along? What I'm saying is, 1. If what you meant is "belief doesn't care about logic", then it's "faith" that you really meant because "conviction" requires logic of some kind. And you know that in "I believe it will snow because"...sentence, "belief" is more like "conviction". So in this case your question to Mr.parsec is inherently flawed because you're neglecting the distinction between "faith" and "conviction". 2. If what you meant is "belief lacks logic", then (A) you again meant "faith", and (B) that's what Mr.parsec have been saying. In any case, logically, you say "belief" = "faith" (because you said that belief is free from logic), but you also say that others (and not you) have to accept that "belief" = "faith" + "conviction" (because you blamed Mr.parsec of being narrow about the definition of belief). And of course you assume that "your definition of belief" = "their definition of belief". Finally you say you're not illogical. Interesting....
