Sure, the common man can belive one thing more than other. Does not mean that their actions are not based on belief in both cases...

Aren't you guys truly not getting this simple thing? I should probably get out of this thread..

The difference being what those beliefs are based upon.

I'd recommend a read through Plato's Socratic dialog Theaetetus. Then think through whether the progression of sensation, true belief, and justified true belief does or does not form a sequence of increasingly better ways to think about the world.

As for your last sentence, although I could say the same, I think you will agree that it would serve no purpose.
