I don't think that it is a matter of belief, rather it is faith. There is a vast difference between the two. One can have faith, for example, in the exisistence of a great benevolent donut which controls our lives and be counted as more or less sane, though a little eccentric. But to say you believe in it, in the strictest sense, is more than a little crazy. In English, no two words or ways of expression can be considered identical. For example, to say "I am happy" is not the same as "I am not unhappy."

But after spending two hours shovelling snow out of my driveway, I may just be getting a little too philosophical Three foot snow drifts will do that to you.
