Steve, I am not saying that people don't believe various things that you and I know aren't true. I'm saying that they don't choose to believe things that THEY know aren't true. ;-) It's simply not possible for a person to believe something while knowing it isn't true...and that's the way you seemed to be wording it in your original statement. Or were you just saying that we do wishful thinking and imagining about things we know aren't true? Well, yeah, but that's just an enjoyable use of one's imagination...we all do that from time to time.
