The fact that you BELIEVE it to be a belief doesn't even make it a fact for you. But you wouldn't know that since you believe it is a fact.

So I guess it doesn't matter that it isn't a fact if you can't see outside your box.

edit-I realized you might think I was implying you were in a box and no one else was. I am sure we all are. I just can't see the boundaries of mine. They aren't well defined as yours are- by one external source (the Bible).

If two people don't share that a fact is a fact, then for that logical system it is NOT a fact. You are bending the definition of 'fact' to suit your argument and it isn't helping.

Fact:
1. Information presented as objectively real.

Objective:
Pretty much all definitions, especially #3:
1. Of or having to do with a material object.
2. Having actual existence or reality.
3. Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic

And therein lies the source of the dispute.
