    Dare to question the validity of your beliefs without becoming emotional? "In religion and politics, peoples beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue, but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing." ~Mark Twain~ Most individuals upon the planet hold a set of beliefs based solely upon psychological programming resulting from social constructs of his or her nativity. Adherents to each and every one of these belief systems often would rather die than to give up what they think they know is the absolutely truth despite contradictory evidence. Nothing that anyone believes, however, is inherently correct just because of social indoctrination. Our place in time resulting from where we grew up, our institutions – government, academic, corporate, and religious shape our perceptions of reality.
