To me, a belief is a culturally fabricated perceptual filter, and from my 
seat on the side of the fence preferring memes as memory organizers,  I 
see these belief filters as precluding the meme's activity of storing a 
perception in its expected place, because it finds the space already 
occupied.
I also see all beliefs as inherently false, precisely because they occupy 
this space, like catbird eggs. This is their survival tactic.
This is also why I am a skeptic. I have yet to be shown a belief that 
belongs there.
