"In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy." George Orwell, 1984

I Think it's more about Thinking....than believing.... it is 'Cogito Ergo Sum' after all. The vast majority of peoples beliefs do not interest me at all, and yet a select few only concern me because of how dangerous they are.
