Steps in the Right Process for Belief Change
Change in Belief People and institutions, then cultures, tribes, and nations, change their beliefs.

I grew up in institutions where a particular belief and […]
Can Anyone Take a Biblical, Conservative Cultural Position in the United States today?
A Cultural Shift A shift occurred in our culture in the last twenty-five years, maybe longer, where someone would take a much harder social, unfavorable hit for supporting Patriarchy, men only in charge of institutions, versus advocating for same sex marriage.
