It seems that no one even considers changing their basic belief faced with any kind of belief coming from beyond. We’re all either right to be holding our own point of view or we’re stubborn. Wait, we can’t all be right, our beliefs are mutually exclusive.

I have to say I probably wouldn’t change my own beliefs either.
