How could you really believe that something is true until you have given serious consideration to what else is out there? Until you ask your questions, do your research, try it out and get some answers, all you have is blind faith.
If you believe something, have you lived what you believe and put it to the test? Go to the source, and ask if it is true (prayer). Do you get an answer? There's more than one kind of answer, too. It could be nothing, it could be that it's wrong, it could be that it's right, or maybe that you are on the right track but there is more to discover.
When you come across something new, ask about it, learn about it, and keep your heart and your mind open. Put it through the same process as with your own beliefs. We all have more to learn, and the source might not be what you expect. You can develop your ability to discern what is right from what is wrong.
