Pretty cold response. Some might even say sad, mean and mindless.
People can't really help what they believe. They are taught/indoctrinated what to think and how to think and what to believe from childhood. As they grow thoughts and thinking patterns become more structured. Some rebel or refute anything that goes against their teaching. Others may be more flexible to allow them to see, accept and adapt to newer, better ways and ideas. People don't/can't just decide to believe differently any more than they decide to be a different blood type or change their species. Beliefs can be changed if one is able to assimilate new/different information.
