Just a reminder that what it feels like to believe a Totally Wrong Thing feels suspiciously similar to what it feels like to believe what you do right now

Or, for that matter, it's suspiciously similar to what it feels like to believe a Totally True Thing as well. Just a reminder.

Does that apply to believe/disbelieve in God?
I always find people who totally believe in God are similar to the people who totally disbelieve in God.

Totally wrong would be impressive. I'm not sure anyone is that perfect. :-)
But yeah, everything we believe is just a map, not the territory itself. This is why Buddhism says that the root of all suffering is attachment to our beliefs. Beliefs give us guidance, but aren't laws.

Wear your beliefs as lightly as you wear a hat.
The meta-ethic is uncertainty.
