Beliefs are awesome.
I in fact think that a person whom has no beliefs and no personal opinions is useless. You need to think for yourself otherwise you're a drone. Not that agreeing with a large group or a majority automatically means your wrong, but agreeing with a large group or majority only because it's the large group or majority is wrong. Make sure that you know why you believe in something and the reason is good enough for YOU. Don't worry about what someone else might think, but analyze your reasons for thinking a certain way and make sure that you're doing it for you, because it's what you truly in your heart believe is right.
More than having your own thoughts, it's important to be able to respect other people's thoughts. That doesn't mean being easily swayed or agreeing with that person. It means even when you are completely opposed and secretly think that person is a completely close minded idiot for a particular opinion, you can still let them talk and explain their point of view without interrupting and without starting world war three. You should at very least -try- to see where that person is coming from, not for the purpose of changing the way you think, but to have a better understanding of the other side and because most of the time if you know a point of view better you'll better know how to counter act it.
I can respect people who talk about things they believe in, but I have so much more respect if they can listen to other people too. My beliefs tend to be different quite a bit of the time and the people closest to me are those who have a little understand of how I see things and can respect me regardless of the fact of how differently we see whatever it is we're looking at. One of the things about myself that I'm proudest of is being able to accept, respect, and sometimes even understand different point of views. It's something I wish more people did. Or at least tried to do.
Here are some things that if you can think somewhat like what I've outlined you might enjoy talking or debating about with someone you enjoy talking with :) Try it out .. see how far you can push the limits of your understanding most of all your imagination ..
-Aliens
-Organ regeneration
-Religion
