Well, I don't know what your native language is. You seem
pretty competent in English. However that may be, the subject
of the sentence "You are lying" is "you", and the subject
of "I don't believe that" is "I". One makes a statement about
you, and the other makes a statement about the speaker.

So much for grammar.

"I don't believe this is true." makes the claim that Dave
does not believe what Rahul has said.

"You are lying." makes the claim that Rahul does not believe
what Rahul has said.

That's the semantics of it.

It's a matter of imputing motive. The first statement, while
it allows that the person may be lying, does not imply that
he is. The second statement imputes bad motives, and deceptiveness.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
