[Platt]
And I am saying that whenever you assert a truth such as "both Truth and 
Justification are merely adjectives that describe beliefs" you assert an 
absolute Truth. If not, it's a relative truth which I can take or leave as 
I wish. In this case, I leave it.  

[Krimel]
You are certainly free to justify your beliefs however you see fit. Reason
does not seem to play a roll, based on your posts. Whatever magic you use is
yours and you are the one that has to live with it.

But I have really not been talking about truth at all. I have been talking
about beliefs. Generally speaking I believe my beliefs are both true and
justified. But that is a statement of belief not a statement about truth or
justification. Neither truth nor justification are required by belief.
