What do you think about this quote from Life of Pi?

True. It means that you're an undecided person who has no real opinions of your own and thus must rely on the opinions of other people, even if certain beliefs contradict other beliefs. I like this quote.

An interesting quote, but I would agree with it.

If you believe in anything, it's because you accept an opinion from someone else about it. Only by experiencing anything do you get to partially _know_ it. And knowledge is the opposite of belief. Knowledge is fact-based. Belief is faith-based. The latter means you blindly accepted another's opinion based on your trust, inexperience, empathy toward the "opinion-sharer" or your personal convenience, i.e. such belief "serves you well."

So, if you believe what everyone has told you (belief based on un-investigated opinions), then you have not formulated your knowledge, inner system, based on your personal, hard-earned experiences.

I suspect all of us require some fundamental organizing principles as we navigate through life. But believing everything we are told enslaves us to the minds of the "tellers." All we can do is explore and find out for ourselves which principles serve us best.

Here's an easy one. One man tells you, "there is a god." Another man tells you "there is no god."

If you believe both AT THE SAME TIME, then you, in fact, believe nothing as they contradict each other.

- Doesn't even make sense. One is accepting all things as true, the other is accepting all things as false. Though there is a common thread of acceptance without due consideration, the equality between the two ends there. Everything else about the two are different, not the same. It's like saying your belief in my answer is the same as your disbelief in my answer. Sounds silly, don't it?

How can believing and not believing be the same thing.

It's True. Choices are very important in life.
