Alice says that she believes in God and a neutral can observe that behaving in accordance with this belief is prevent Alice from achieving her goals. Let’s posit that believing in God is not a goal for Alice, it’s just something she happens to believe. For example, Alice thinks God exists but is not religiously observant and does not desire to be observant.
What should Bob do to help Alice achieve her goals? Doesn’t it depend on whether Alice believes in God or believes that “I believe in God” is/should be one of her beliefs?
More generally, what is wrong (from a post-modern point of view) with saying that all moral beliefs are instances of “belief in belief”?
