It has come to my attention not everyone agrees on this subject so i'll ask, What is your opinion on opinions?

  • I am of the belief that “opinion” and “belief” should have distinctly separate definitions. Most sources use them more or less interchangeably, but I would argue that this is wrong. Opinions should never be wrong. Think “I like the color blue”. It is a claim that cannot be false as long as the speaker is being honest. Beliefs can be wrong and should be critiqued heavily. “God exists” is a belief, for better or worse, and can be false, in general. It may not be falsifiable, but the truth is that either God exists or God does not exist. That is why my answer is that opinions can’t be wrong.
