I picked up explicit and implicit beliefs, small and big, as I grew up and grow older. Every day. The topics I read and hear and discuss, they inform and form new beliefs.

Some beliefs conflict with each other. And so I have to decide which beliefs to unlearn and drop. Holding on to conflicting beliefs leads to confusion and pain.

Trouble comes when I do not realise that I am holding on to conflicting beliefs. Some beliefs are subliminal. Or the conflict materialises only in specific circumstance. Such is life.

The important thing is that my beliefs in God need to overcome whatever other beliefs that conflict with them.
