One belief, taken apart

Choose a belief you hold that matters to you and that some reasonable people reject. Work through it honestly. Nobody sees this but you.

State the belief in one sentence, precisely enough that it could be wrong.

What is the strongest evidence for it? Not the most emotionally satisfying — the strongest.

What is the strongest evidence against it?

What has to be true, unstated, for your reasoning to hold?

Where did you first get this belief? Did you evaluate it, or absorb it?

What specific thing, if you learned it tomorrow, would move you?
