Conjecture
To be willing to die for an idea is to set a rather high price on conjecture.
- Anatole France
Isn't "conjecture" a wonderful word?
conjecture -- con·jec·ture
[kuhn-jek-cher]
–noun
1.
the formation or expression of an opinion or theory without sufficient evidence for proof.
2.
an opinion or theory so formed or expressed; guess; speculation.
We believe things so fiercely because they are all conjecture. If they were true, there would be no need for strong belief.

yes, it is a wonderful word.
"I am somebody."
"This world exists."
"Fear is real."
These are some of my conjectures.
How insinuating they are! Like oily snakes I give free rent in my clean pool.
