Example: I used to be quite homophobic when I was younger, refused to admit homosexuality was 'natural' etc. 

Now I'm all about life being fabulous.

Well, when I used to believe I used to think it would be a good idea to get churches and schools and businesses together to help society. While religious charity is not illegal, I now see how intrusive it tries to get with  government. And when you have assholes flipping out because Starbucks didn't put a cross on their Christmas cups, it is obvious to me how wrong I was. For fucks sake we now have cop cars with "In God We Trust" on them.

I don't really know. Don't want to "big" myself up or anything like that, but I have stayed true to my beliefs. Can't really think of any that I have changed.

I used to believe we had been visited and were currently being visited by aliens.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Um....... Not really controversial on this site, but I am sure if you post this at a Christian website you'll get some responses. Smile

I used to hate Illegal Immigrants. Not sure where my Xenophobia came from. Neither of my parents were born in America. I spent my early childhood in Sweden. English wasn't even my only language, and I thought they should learn it. I was worse than Trump, but I've changed how i see them.

Used be for the death penalty, now I'm of the opinion that any civilisation that could implement it correctly would be advanced enough not to ever be in a position to use it.

here's a weird one:

I really thought ecumenism was a good thing in high school and now I think it is just vile.

And I realize it's a moot point with no demonstrable One True Faith, still, it rankles my hackles.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
