"what makes it better than everyone else's?"
Because it is mine. Of course I do not expect others to hew to my worldview, but in return I expect selfsame others to not assail mine.

As for where the line lies ... that cannot be determined using the present state of science, philosophy, whatever. It can only be an expression of one's own faith. That is why I not only will not specify where I draw that line, but why I contend that arguing about it leads nowhere.

Unless you're bored enough that a round of Pin the Tail on the Doctrine actually sounds fun.

Is there a substantive difference between a whim and a belief?
