78. The difference is one between

facts based on 'beliefs' and those based on education with regards to the material being used.

Some Christians can believe something was said and it's implications, but when shown by someone else who has studied more deeply realize that their foundation of belief on a topic is wrong can change their view (kind of like the constitution and how we still have people interpreting it differently today).

A belief (as it were) based on an out of context quote that a person does not bother to check up could well go against that person's core beliefs on the whole but they don't bother to question it for whatever reason.

"beliefs" can have equal validity in that they are just beliefs, but they have basis in other things so some are, indeed, more valid (to understand this you have to see the baseline a person uses and then compare things in order to establish validity).

Kind of like the 2nd amendment where the people drafting it had no desire for a centralized government to not allow citizens to be able to own guns - but some mix it with the militia in the clause to try to make such a case (they believe it to be that without ever reading the debates the founders have over it, etc, and even if they do come around and agree that the base principle was to limit the government itself and not the people then say we should change it to fit their ideal of what they thought it should be).

Belief in politics is same as religion, but indeed some are more valid than others when you look at the stated goals and measure the ways to get there (even if where you want to go is silly there are more valid ways to get there).
