forum for week of 19 September

I think the idea "belief" is a very subjective term. Most people will think whether they should believe something before they do so. Does it suggest that once a person wants to believe something he always has some reasoning in his mind? If this is the case, when people think back the reason why they believe things at first place, there will always be some reasoning in their mind that they think it is sufficient evidence. Therefore, I think the term "sufficent evidence" is only a subjective term that people already have in their mind. The paper by Clifford only reminds people they should think before they make decisions and see whether their decisons are rational. However, people always think they are rational; without other people's value judgement, they will never know they do anything wrong.
