Belief, Thought, and ANSWER CHUNG!

First of all, Chung raises a great question in the previous post. Get in their and discuss it!

The previous post brought up a discussion from last week regarding the statements, "I think that...," "I believe that...," and "I know that...." One notion I would like to throw out there is that believing, rather than knowing or thinking, seems most tied to action. Knowing that there is poverty, for example, affects many people does not, in and of itself, move most people to action. Thinking that it is important may move some. Believing that it is important seems to move the most to do something about it. Let us assume for a moment that this is the case, that belief is what is most closely tied with action. If so, then is a belief statement stronger than a knowledge statement?
