Now, that's some twisted logic.
Facts are facts, even if some disbelieve the facts.
If I don't believe a tree is a tree, it's still a tree. .My disbelief doesn't turn the tree into an opinion.

If I believe (or say I KNOW) the tooth fairy leaves money under pillows, that doesn't make it a fact. It's an OPINION.

I said: "Now, that's some twisted logic.

Your said: "If I believe (or say I KNOW) the tooth fairy leaves money under pillows, that doesn't make it a fact. It's an OPINION."

Regardless of your belief, the tooth fairy won't put a dollar under your pillow tonight. That's a fact. Opinions refer to beliefs, not events. The way you wrote your sentence, the word "it" describes the tooth fairy's actions, not your belief. A more correct way to express what I think you're trying to say is: "In my opinion, the tooth fairy will leave me money."

It may seem like splitting hairs, but I had a reason for bringing this up, when you stated something to the effect that the good news of Christ's salvation is an opinion.

There is such a thing as absolute truth, regardless of one's beliefs. Perhaps, you may not believe Christ saves. (I say "perhaps" because I don't know what you believe.) I do. If that is indeed your position, one of us is clearly right, and the other clearly wrong.

Calling an event an "opinion" has no effect on the truth or falsity of that event.
