2.3. Beliefs vs. Facts

It is easy to lose the critical distinction between matters of belief and matters of fact. When matters of belief are confused for those of fact, great turmoil can occur. This is a tragic confusion as differences in belief are not only natural, but absolutely necessary for collective human flourishing. Without this capacity for difference life itself can be corrupted. Differences of belief, within reason, should be honored and not tarnished and mistaken as fact. Differences of fact is an oxymoron.

The 'debate' between Causalism and free will is often relegated to the dungeon of facts. 

Here, we elevate it to the realm of beliefs.
