What I'm saying is, everyone has a "confirmation bias". And based on your experiences and goals, you interpret new information in a way which supports your interests and goals.
A good example is "god".
I often ask, Why would anyone want to believe in god? What benefits are there to believing in god?
In simplest terms, god is like a father, and he doesn't want to reward you(at least not in this life). He only wants to tell you what you cannot do, he wants to limit you. And at the same time, he wants to tell you what you must do. He wants you to sacrifice yourself, your time, your money, for something, which for many people, has no immediate benefit.
The people who want to believe in god, are people who find benefits in believing in god. And they will seek new information to support what they want to believe.
Many of the people here are turning to Christianity, not because they, through reason, realized that god was true. But merely because they hate the degeneracy, and want to find decent women.
On the opposite end, you have young people, who want to be "free" to have fun. To have casual sex, and do drugs, and just generally be a self-centered a-hole. And they reject god, and religion, after searching for the facts which justify what they already want to believe.
The only way to change what someone believes, is to give them a reason to want to believe something else.
