Personal Belief and Absolute Belief
Belief exists on two levels. Personal Belief, and absolute belief. Absolute belief equates to the personal knowledge of the person, while the personal belief equates to the values held by the person. Personal Belief = how they like to portray their ideals of existence. Absolute belief = how they believe the universe is undoubtedly takes form. Dogmatic people often have difficulty in differentiating between and understanding the absolute belief and the personal belief, mainly due to these two beliefs being more or less identical for them. This belief structure is perhaps most prevalent and easy to distinguish in those of agnostic theism and atheism alike. While they both have an equal absence of the absolute belief, being of surety that such a notion is unprovable, their personal belief differs. Agnostic Theists prefer to believe in the existence of a God on a personal level, but are fully aware of the impossibility of proving such an existence. Likewise, agnostic atheists decide to take a stance of no god existing, despite this being unprovable.
Poke holes in this. I'm not looking for an argument here, I'm just trying to form some kind of construction as to how human ethics, morals and beliefs exist. So any contradictions or arguments will help me build around them and make a more solid explanation. :)
