It is my aim that each morning, before breakfast, I shall dismiss one deeply held and treasured belief, of one or more people, somewhere somewhen in the world and it's history.
Let me add mine, which is not a jab at the OP or anyone else:
I hereby dismiss *my* belief that the off-topic section of the message board serves any useful purpose whatsoever. :(

I rather thought it was so that people could post passive-agressive smurf posts on debates about things semi-interesting to talk about ;)
But your mostly assuredly welcome to Join in with the Dismissal of Passionately held beliefs of almost all variaties. There is only one rule, and that is your only allowed one dismissal a day, and it must be before you have your breakfast.

There is only one rule, and that is your only allowed one dismissal a day, and it must be before you have your breakfast.But what if you miss breakfast? DO you not get to dismiss any beliefs that day? Or would lunch count as breakfast?
You have to request special dispensation.

The preponderance of evidence supports your thesis. That being the case, I shall include an irrelevant plug for my homebrew thread.
I dismiss the belief that the universe had a creator. I also don't think that your bronze age books are an adequate source of evidence that this mythical creator dislikes the bacon I am about to eat.
Removed some posts. Please post nicely.
The difference is making posts that directly attack another poster. That being said, I am watching this thread, along with numerous others.

As a Scotsman I dismiss your notion that anyone in the UK except the ENGLISH believe that England will ever win the world Cup again.
As anyone north of the border will tell you we support two teams in any International competition..Scotland..and any team playing England

So can I attack groups of people in general?
My grandpa, God rest him, taught me that doing so is wrong. If you're gonna call someone a douche, he would have said, you should be specific and do it to his face.

That does all kind of assume that disagreeing with their ideas, and saying so, is the same attacking them.
The entire point of this thread is that it is possible to dismiss almost any idea that anyone might have in all the world, and it not be considered an attack on them. Yet if you dismiss, one subset of beliefs, those related to faith, not only do they become especially annoyed, but also the ideas receive special protection.
Anyway, it is almost breakfast time so:
My dear friend, I dismiss your notion that you have a good taste in music. Sorry the evidence is in, and their is no excuse for liking British boy bands of the late nineties and early naughties. The human soul cannot hope to survive on a diet of film scores and bad pop alone. Let us, your friends, help you. Let me introduce you to the awesomeness of hiphop, Punk, electronica, grunge, shoe gaze and trip hop with artist such as Lamb, Portishead, Brian Eno, curve, bikini kill,L7, KRS-One, public enemy, De la soul, the beastie boy, and so many many more. Let Chris educate you in the ways of electro and guitar music of the eighties and early nineties. Let angie teach you about the joys of nineties and naughties British and america indie. You do not have to languish in your hinterland of blue fandom, their is good music out there, i mean you haven't even listen to dark side of the moon by pink floyd. How can you possibly think your musical education is complete :D

I wasn't talking to you--even my hamster can see I was talking to Liz.
And no assumption there. On the contrary it is you who have assumed. My question means exactly what it said.
No big deal though because I dismiss your assumption. In fact I dismiss all people who don't pay any attention to what others are posting. And I dismiss people who lord fragile contentions over others just to stoke their own abused egos. But most of all I also dismiss dismissiveness.
I did not say "You have assumed..."
I said "That assumes..."
The 'that' mentioned is the idea that dismissing an idea is the same as attacking a person.
But hey hoe.

Circularity much? Grammar? Try it.
Anyway, you got salad tween your ears. I shoulda known better.

And when you Jocks get your desire and become a bankrupt independent nation (be realistic, w won't let you go your own way while the North Sea oil is still generatng money over what we send back), I assure you, the English shall return the favour full force. Not that any nation will need our support to beat your team of "footballers".
Additionally, I dismiss your belief that all of England cares about the actions of preposterously overpaid drooling idiots who can't seem to keep their Johnsons (perfect name for it given the reputation of the current Mayor of London) inside the marital bed. Now, if you want to discuss cricket or rugby, i.e. proper sports, we can get somewhere.
Tally ho!
I dismiss hate. It is a cancer that eats at the soul and serves little useful purpose.
Unless it is directed at Rick Astley. Then it is completely warranted and, in my opinion, should be made mandatory.
Obvious troll is obvious.
*clap clap clap*
Thank you. Thank you. I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.
Go Red.
That is all.

You need to fill out a pink 42a, and a mess about with wibbly-wobbly-timie-wimme-things.
Assuming you do so, you may of cause post.

I dismiss the commonly held belief that every Metallica album since the beginning of the nineties was a waste of plastic.
I dismiss the idea that the world is ending tomorrow.
Of course, that more or less guarantees that it actually will end tomorrow.
Don't worry. The world can't end tomorrow. I have finals. I've been studying for months. The. World. Cannot. End. TOMORROW!!!! I HAVE WORKED WAY TO HARD TO STAND FOR IT!!!!

Why thank you Miss Undead Ma'am.
At that time people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens. Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near.
Mark 13:26-28
