When something is really beyond your own personal bias, it can be tested and falsified and then that data and method can be handed over to others and they will be able to come to the same conclusions you did.

I guess this is the part I don't understand. Why should we assume it's either or? Yes, there are things we believe solely because our personal biases have lead us to believe them, and there are other things we believe because they have been objectively shown true. But why can't we believe a third kind of thing that doesn't fall into those two categories? In other words, why should I be compelled to accept that something which can't conceivably be objectively proven must of necessity be solely a bias?

However, I am not an advocate, of having no justified reason outside of yourself for belief (on anything of consequence anyways).  You can't be justified in believing anything you want, or whatever feels right. 

I would likewise agree if I thought that anyone could change any kind of belief. But I'm not sure that all beliefs fit into that category. If a belief is sufficiently unchangeable, it would seem pointless to attempt to justify it.
