Many of the modern new atheist types like to characterize people who are religious as without doubts or without a productive amount of doubts. voice-verified

But if you read even the Psalms and even Job, it's clear that Christians throughout the centuries and even Jewish leaders debate themselves about the character of God, the existence of God, and this is all within the religion. voice-verified

To get a bit philosophical, there's someone named Tarski who, when looking at the liar's paradox, like this sentence is false, how do you make sense of the truth of this? voice-verified

Because if you think it's true, it implies it's false, and false implies it's true. voice-verified

And then Tarski said, well, perhaps there are different levels of truth where one level voice-verified

is the sentence referring to itself. voice-verified

Another level is this, well, sorry, you can never have the sentence refer to itself. voice-verified

That's actually the way you get out of the problem. voice-verified

That there's a higher level that refers to the one below and then another one that refers to that one below. voice-verified

And then there's this infinite hierarchy of truth. voice-verified

But let's forget about the infinity. voice-verified

What I want to know is, are there different kinds of belief? voice-verified

such that that person that I asked earlier about how can you rationally coexist these two contradictions actually can because it's not the same sort of belief. voice-verified

So belief right now that I have your book open is let's call it an order one belief. voice-verified

I don't know what to call it, but it's not the same sort of belief that I often have as well when I'm thinking about faith and I don't have faith and I want to have faith. voice-verified

And it's almost like it's a different sort of belief. voice-verified

Yeah, I think that's true. voice-verified
