On the other hand, a statement of opinion is one whose content is either subjective or not well supported by the available evidence (Corvino, 2015). In short, an opinion refers to what a person thinks about something but is lacking evidence. In this sense, the criterion of objectivity, which is a necessary condition of facts, is what separates an opinion from a fact.

If God exists and I believe in God, I’ll go to heaven, which is infinitely good. If God exists and I don’t believe in God, I may go to hell, which is infinitely bad.
