Yep, so there it is right in the topic title: what kinda idiotic horseshit did you used to believe in really strongly before you smartened up?
Perhaps, like me, it was some fundamentalist religious bullshit - I used to believe that Jesus would hate me for masturbating before I realized that: "Holy shit, I'm using these utterly nonsensical, convoluted, and several-thousand-year-old religious (whatever that word actually means) concepts for some kind of universal understanding and moralization in a world where people have split the atom, cloned an actual lifeform (hi, Dolly the sheep) and determined the exact age of the universe scientifically (hint: it's not 6000 years).
Or perhaps you used to be one of those dumb brainwashed NRA clusterfuckers who sincerely believed that: "If everyone has a gun, then everyone is safer" until you actually followed the news and thought rationally and studied global murder rates and figured out that: "Hey, holy shit, happily entrusting weapons of minor destruction to all regular citizens (who often have an IQ below average, and a disturbingly high rate of mental illness) might not perhaps be the hottest idea on the planet." Of course your many years of gun-corporation-sponsored NRA brainwashing in the only country in the world with a political group dedicated solely to gun-ownership would be to blame for that, but here is finally a topic in which you can (hopefully) rejoice in breaking these shackles of corporate-for-profit-mind-control.
Or perhaps you used to be one of those feces-filled-cranial-cavity species who didn't believe that global warming is a man-made phenomenon, until you found out that 98% of scientists disagreed with your former diarrhea-filled thoughts?
Anyway, basically this topic is open to pretty much anything you used to really strongly believe in, but now know to be a stinking pile of apeshit. Fire away...
