To you, YOUR "argument" is absolutely sound and valid, with the conclusion being the one and only ABSOLUTE Truth, am I also RIGHT?
That is your belief [a guess]
IT IS AN OPEN CLARIFYING QUESTION. The question mark at the end is a hint to this FACT. It is also NOTHING else but a Truly open question asked for clarification.
It is YOUR BELIEF that is a BELIEF.
By the way, you once again NEVER answered the actual clarifying question.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:50 am for you cannot know exactly what is in my mind till I respond, otherwise what else is that statement.
LOL You really make me laugh, veritas. The VERY point of asking a clarifying question, and then WAITING for a response, is so that I will then KNOW.
Unlike you I do things the completely other way around. Where you make ASSUMPTIONS and BELIEVE that YOUR ASSUMPTIONS are True, I on the other hand, ask a clarifying question and then WAIT for a response BEFORE I even begin to ASSUME some thing.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:50 amWith my response you can then confirm whether your belief is true or not.
REALLY?
I would have NEVER of worked that out all by myself.
Why do you think I have been asking CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, and then WAITING for responses, since I joined this forum?
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:50 am Even with my response, you have to have belief re my response for I could be lying.
You will NOT leave this, supposed, NECESSARY '
HAVE TO' BELIEVE BELIEF that you have, alone, will you?
Even with whatever response you give I will neither believe nor disbelieve any thing. I will STILL REMAIN OPEN. It is that SIMPLE.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:50 am Thus at most you can say, "I believe based on your written response, you don't believe in any Absolute Truth."
I CAN say a LOT MORE than THAT.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:50 amI don't believe in any ABSOLUTE Truth.
Great to hear.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:50 amWhat I believe and had claimed 'All humans has beliefs' is an empirical Justified True Belief.
I KNOW, you have said this a FEW times already.
Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 6:50 amI have already explained how the believing processes is embedded within the human brain via evolution.
Do you REALLY BELIEVE that you, veritas, would KNOW this?
WHERE did you get this information/knowledge from?

Here is one clue;
Religious belief may seem to be a unique psychological experience, but a growing body of research shows that thinking about religion is no different from thinking about secular things—at least from the standpoint of the brain. In the first imaging study to compare religious and nonreligious thoughts, evaluating the truth of either type of statement was found to
involve the same regions of the brain.
They found that
when a subject believed a statement—whether it was religious or not—activity appeared in an area called the
ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which is an area associated with emotions, rewards and self-representation.
The finding adds to the mounting evidence against the notion, popular in the scientific community as well as among the general public, that religious faith is somehow different from other types of belief, explains co-author Sam Harris, also of U.C.L.A.
In contrast to this assumption, he says, “
Believing the sun is a star is rather the same as believing Jesus was born of a virgin.”

Btw, if you are not
believing the Sun is a star, then you are an ignorant dude or being delusional and existing in la la land.
As I have insisted,
all humans - being human - has beliefs inherently and intrinsically, the critical difference is whether they are justified true beliefs or unjustified irrational beliefs.
What is the percentage rate of ALL of YOUR BELIEFS, veritas, in Justified True Beliefs, AND, unjustified irrational beliefs?
How does YOUR percentage rate compare to other human beings?
