beggar's belief

To defy or go beyond what is believable. Something so extraordinary that it can’t be believed or described coherently, almost sounding impossible or insane.

To think that within 15 years humans will not only have visited Mars, but possibly even begun the process of colonizing our solar system is just beggar's belief.

Belief corral

An existential enclosure for confining sheeple, precluding independent thinking that might lead to freedom from servitude to, for example, religion.

When I started pointing out the way Christianity had co-opted longstanding cultural traditions in order to consolidate its power base, and how little of the 'unique' aspects of his religion were in fact unique, I realized I had wandered out of his belief corral - I might as well have been talking to myself.

trumpian belief

This belief is factually proven wrong. Yet you choose to believe in the idea and to openly and whole-heartedly promote it.

make beliefs

Various pretensions and desperate believings manufactured, brainwashed and clung to in order to compensate for and quell the fear of THE UNKNOWN. Usually take the form of religions and cults.

1. Omar had been brainwashed into the way of the crescent moon prophet from an early age and was firmly entrenched in his make beliefs.

2. When Donna hit bottom in Key West; her anxiety and desperation led her to Jesus and a ready made group of make beliefs.

3. Even though raised Roman Catholic, Madonna gravitated to Caballa and other Judaic nuances to fill a void in her system of make beliefs.

Generosity Belief

When you agree, and pretend to believe someone when they are obviously lying, to avoid the awkward situation of calling them out on their claims.

Usually about something trivial, but could be about anything.

Guy 1 : DUDE! I just got into a fight with 10 people and laid them all out.

Guy 2 : Wow, it doesn't even look like you got hit...

Guy 1 : That's because I was too quick.

Guy 1 : (I shouldn't have given him that generosity belief.)
