1.) God Paradox. Being able to exist in spite of its contradictions. Which is easy to debunk, but it's still probably one of the better answers out there.
2.) Inherited. The beliefs were never truly my own. Just things indoctrinated into me as a child. This fucked up my psyche more than I realized. Since none of my beliefs were my own I was insecure of them and any disagreement and challenge to any of my beliefs in general I interpreted as an attack. Now that I've expanded my mind and started questioning my own beliefs, they are truly my own. They've been thought out logically, tested, understood, and accepted. And I know I'll be open enough to repeat the process in light of new information or opposing ideas, so they're reinforced and I'm more secured in them, and thus am a better person for it.
