No, you don't believe that. I think you're just trying to be provocative by saying very stupid things but with an air of innocence to elicit patient responses from well-meaning people. No one could possibly "vehemently believe" what you claim to vehemently believe. No one. You're just playing games here. Ultimately, you're being a troll, but a hard-to-detect one since you are not engaging in name-calling or insults. Sadly, though, you are not at the top of the troll hierachy so you probably shouldn't bother.
