No I'm talking about the difference between what you might choose to prioritise and what someone else might.

I'm not sure how priorities are relevant to the mindset with which you approach things.Whether ur epistemology is faith or evidence

You could believe things which others see as nonsense, but because you don't prioritise them you don't apply scepticism to them.

No. If I believe in things without evidence, I am not a sceptic. Whether I prioritise them or not.

But you said you hadn't applied scepticism to everything you believed. Some things you just take on trust.

Difference between 'believing in' & believing in the sense of taking on trust. I think it very probable my husband loves me.

I'm sure he does. Sadly we always hear of lovers who have fallen out. There's often evidence of cheating which goes unnoticed.

Yes, I take his love as a hypothesis which has not failed yet. Every day more evidence supports it. It will never be proven.

It could be disproven in one act. I cld learn he planned to murder me for money. This is sceptical way to think.

Is this some area of life where you choose not to act sceptically?

This is sceptical. I have a hypothesis which has not been disproven. I don't take his love on faith despite lack of evidence.
