When you are eating something with eggs from a restaurant [1] do you also not feel discomfort from two contradictory beliefs?

- warent 7y agoEating eggs in a restaurant is not a belief. I'm not going to reply to any more of your comments because: 1. it's clear you're not interested in a dialogue, you've already decided who is right and wrong and you're trying to bait me into a corner; and 2. this has completely derailed from the discussion about antibiotics.
- spraak 7y ago> Eating eggs in a restaurant is not a belief. That's a very shallow interpretation of what I said. You say that you avoid eating eggs at home, which must originate from a belief. And yet you eat them at a restaurant, so why is there the contradiction? > you're trying to bait me into a corner You've done that to yourself; or, I am pointing out where you're not being consistent.
