So let’s use an example Twitter is a place where a bunch of debates & talks of the human condition happen. We talk about dating a lot and vetting potential partners on their beliefs. We also talk about how people reveal their beliefs indirectly. PRIVATE BELIEFS DONT EXIST
Now what does all that mean? Live Vs Dead. Forced vs Unforced. Momentous vs Trivial.

These criteria ONLY apply to beliefs for which we don’t have sufficient evidence to back them on, mainly religious.

Now I say all that to say when you say you have a certain belief, you need to understand what a JUSTIFIED BELIEF is vs an OPINION. You need to examine your beliefs and really ponder if they are justified or are you just stating an opinion.
