Reading through the comments, and don't mean to hijack this thread, but take the two statements:
- The Sky is Red
- The sky is blue
We all know which one is true, and which is false. Yet somehow I feel that how much you believe each statement depends on which side you are on and which side it came from. If your side said the sky is red, you'd believe it wholeheartedly.
You'd completely ignore the true facts (or convince yourself that they were false) to support "your side"
