Believe in
When you "believe in" something, you have faith in its existence. Pirates are now using "believe in" to mean "support" or even "promote", as in, "I believe in speaking my mind." or "I don't believe in peeing on streetcorners." Well, sad to say, it happens. Or (to begin with a conjunction) take the case of this comment found elsewhere on this board. "You either believe in freedom for Iraq or not." What does "believe in" mean there?
