How often do your beliefs change?
|
I would say my beliefs, or at least some of them, change every few months. 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.
"Imagination, life is your creation"
Whenever its necessary.
Cetero censeo religionem delendam esse
Whenever I get new information that better explains something.
Every 30 minutes or so.

I keep a spare pair with a pair of socks, a clean pair of underwear, and change for the bus.

So who indoctrinated you into believing this?
Why is it so?
~Julius Sumner Miller 
My beliefs change stochastically about 25 times each second. However, since my decisions process often occur over a considerable longer period than 1/25 second, what comes through are an average of my beliefs over some number of seconds, which tend to be somewhat less volatile than my beliefs.
My beliefs change whenever enough information contrary to my former beliefs accumulates to convince me otherwise. I used to be a Republican, then I was a Libertarian, now I'm a Democrat. I sued to be a Pentecostal, then I was an agnostic theist, then I was an atheist. I used to think alien abductions, ancient aliens, Bigfoot, ESP, ghosts, and the Loch Ness monster were all real, now I don't. I was all of those things for years before I changed my mind.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
