The truth of 'belief' and whether it is true or not remains a subjective issue without objective evidence.

Yes. Why believe anything which is not true? Now the question is, what does it matter if one does not believe something which happens to be true? And why should anyone believe anything if it did not matter even if it were true?
Is there any reason to believe objectively that any one of these diverse and conflicting claims 'truths' and the consequences of not believing is 'true,' No.
One the other hand concerning the the objective verifiable knowledge of science, which is consistent and predictable, there are consequences of rejecting the knowledge of science.

If it is true that what you believe happens is not happening in the true sense of true then you will have to happen to unbelieve the true meaning of happening while the truth is believable. And that's the truth!
and it is purple. on Wednesdays.
