> Do you believe that you hold your beliefs because of some great achievement, and not "just because"? I believe that I hold my current beliefs because I have considered my old beliefs and tried to work on improving them. As someone who grew up in 70s UK, I grew up seeing casual racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. on TV every day and, yeah, that definitely helped shape, if not specific opinions about the worth of people, then certainly a casual carelessness - it would be a rare week at school without a new racist joke, for example. Thankfully I've seen since that I was wrong and have tried to be better (but I fully admit I have a long way to go.)
