Beliefs are narratives (myths) people hold with the intent to enact. Even atheists have beliefs. So I don't think they're easily dismissed. The story you're enacting might be the most consequential thing about you.

As far as forgiveness of CS, well, whether I'm supposed to forgive someone or not, I prefer forgiving because I want to live in a world where we can be forgiven.

Are all beliefs fictional? What's the difference, if any, between holding such beliefs and attending a Harry Potter convention in costume?
