If the need arise to apologize for stating your belief(s), you should rather apologize for having them.

I was not apologizing for any belief, I was, perhaps misplaced, apologizing for having presumed I knew yours.

Words are the direct expression/reflection(s) of any/all beliefs

You've expressed yours, I've mine

Nothing more to be gained here.

By the way, I think you would make a great lawyer!

Only as we can know them, yes of course.

I'll take that as a compliment, but I'm a lousy liar, so no I would not.

Take it as a compliment and you are not a lousy liar....you are a bad liar!

After all that, now you've gone and hurt my feelin's. :-(
