it's called having a belief.
Did you mean faith? People believe lots of stuff for good reasons.
no. just belief. people believe in all sort of arbitrary nonsense.
i dated a woman who thought eating breakfast was only for children, for example. she basically told me i was a man-child for wanting to eat food before noon. you could not argue with her and she could not accept that people eat breakfast. she thought eating breakfast as a man made me weak and pathetic and she told me i had to stop eating breakfast if i wanted to keep seeing her.
no idea why she believed this, but to her you can't be 'adult' if you eat food before noon. probably how she was raised and she never questioned it her entire life. she was 37.
I've also had people tell me that I organize 'wrong'. and a million other arbitrary things they were adamant were the 'only way' you could do something or eat something or whatever. the most common one is that I'm must be gay because I have a cat. a 'real straight man' can't own a cat.
Do you believe this to be true?
believe what? that i'm gay because I have a cat?
No. But lots of other people believe that.
No, that people believe in all sorts of arbitrary nonsense.
I believe it the same way I believe I need oxygen to breathe.
