Nothin' to say 'cept ... wouldn't it be awesome if we all would follow your example ... re: what you said concerning "beliefs" & "truth" !
Keita Kenyatta,
To believe = to accept as true
To know = to recognize, identify, discern
What we know develops our truth. So perhaps, when one says that they "believe" a thing, they could be speaking towards their truth and or the truth ... the "knowing" is simply the process we use to get there! .
"I DON'T KNOW" ... .. at best, is inconclusive? So, if one is unsure about a thing ... more oft' than not they will either say it directly OR their hesitation will make itself known ... eventually.
Example:
I believe that the font color I'm using to write this sentence in is ... BLACK! I know this because of the color recognition training/education I'd received in grade school.
Question:
Now, what about the previous example is ... inconclusive???
I am fully capable of holding serious, tough discussions without animosity. I have absolutely no animosity towards those brothers. I would be happy to sit down over a cup of coffee with them any day. As Heavy D said, "I got nuthin' but love for 'em." I just still believe what I believe until a truth is presented that proves otherwise.

I believe I'm going to hit the lottery today. I believe that I'm going to get a raise today in my check. I believe that I can get shot in the head with a 45 and walk away unharmed. I believe that I will wake up tomorrow. I believe that I will never be sick a day in my life. I believe that my car will start when I put the key in it.
The truth of the matter is that, everytime I say "I believe", what I'm really saying is; "I DON'T KNOW". Therefore, just because You Believe Something, does not make it the truth...only a BELIEF...which is akin to saying "YOU DON'T KNOW". Knowing is a great thing...an empowering and liberating thing....try it, you might like it.
Peace!!
