For instance, just a few months ago, I thought the afterlife might be a real thing, but now I'm pretty sure it's not. I always have to wonder if my beliefs will keep changing indefinitely, and end up becoming overwhelmingly abstract, or if there's an end to this belief changing that I haven't reached yet.
If you are open minded and allow yourself to be exposed to new ideas and information then yes, you will likely continue to feel intellectual pressure to change your beliefs to align better with the reality that you experience. To not do this requires you do deny reality and/or reject objective information in some way. I reference objective information because this is the only valid form of information you should be considering. Subjective information is too unreliable and can lead you to make serious mistakes.
The astonishing thing here is that one one thread you are admitting to changing your mind about religious matters while simultaneously dismissing others who are doing nothing different. That is hypocrisy and it is disgusting.
Why is it so?
