There are two ways to believe. One is right and one is wrong. The one that is wrong allows for you to believe in other things also being right. The one that is right does not allow for any other beliefs.

The one that is right says that there is only one belief that is true. The one that is wrong says there is more than one thing that is true.

The one that is right says all other beliefs are partially true and partially false. The one that is wrong says that there are other beliefs that are wholly true.

All other beliefs fall into one or the other of these two beliefs. This is inescapable and unavoidable. If you try to deny that it is unavoidable, then you have chosen the belief that more than one thing is true.

Simply because if you are asked the question, "Is it unavoidable?", you would answer, "Yes", thereby demonstrating that you think that this question has only one answer, or is wholly true, and therefore you don't subscribe to the to the idea "...that there is only one belief that is true."

All questions are eventually answered by the right belief. They aren't answered immediately, of course, since that would also violate the right belief.

Why do I say that? Because then it would be required to answer questions about time with only one answer, since the word "immediately" concerns time.

All belief systems can be looked at as to if they have the wrong or right belief. I know this sounds intolerant, but you will see that it isn't.

Wrong belief systems include theism, atheism, Rustism, scientificism and more. Right belief systems include the right belief.

(Disclaimer: all ideas expressed, and words used above, are subject to the right belief, and accordingly may mean their opposite.)

Your words, correct? So if nothing in the post has any set meaning, precisely what the fuck is your point?

So, there's roughly a fifty percent chance that things in your post don't mean what they say they mean? Look, kid, it's a lot easier for everybody involved if you speak in terms of fact. This "one hand clapping" crap isn't really my gig.

The statement added at the end of the openening post about opposites was more of an after thought. I would suggest taking the post as statements of fact and evaluating it in that light. If it started making some sense to you, then the afterthought, after further consideration, might seem more reasonable, but that doesn't really matter at this point.

There is socially accepted and un-accepted behavior.

To you, and government, society and cops that surround you, it would be wrong.

To some people it would be right.

Therefore there is a right and wrong.

Are you right, that "there is no right or wrong"? Of course you can see that your statement self destructs, since it contradicts itself. And besides that, your statement is a statement of your faith. Faith is unavoidable.

From the cops' point of view the example given was a wrong behavior. And it is also true that some people would think it was acceptable. In war situations many people think that this type of behavior becomes acceptable and will defend it.

Then I guess some people feel like they are always in a war situation. Like Charles Manson, possibly.

So to some people it is right, and to some people it is wrong. In that respect, everything is right, and wrong.

The idea of the topic, though, is that only one thing is completely right, and that is the idea that all other beliefs are partially true, and partially false. Even scientific "truths" and "facts".
