Of course. Everyone changes their opinions as they get more information. Since it takes time to get information, we are more likely to change our minds as we get older - to a certain point.
Let's assume that a young man is raised in a certain religion. As a child and young teen, he totally believes everything he learns in church and from his parents. He may even go as far as to pity his peers for their lack of understanding, if his is a very exclusive religion.
As an older teen, however, it is natural for him to want to establish his own sense of what is right and wrong, separate from his parents' ideas. This is the time when kids and parents fight a lot, and the kids may join protest marches and such. If the parents were very strict about what their children must believe, he may go too far, joining cults or becoming a law-breaker. Each generation seems to think that they are the first that ever did this, though of course we have all gone through it.
As a person matures into young adulthood, then middle age, and finally old age, they tend to work out what they believe, and become less likely to flip back and forth between many radical ideas. (This is why young people often believe that older people are "stuck in their ways.") So it is quite normal for someone to be much more liberal in their youth than they wind up being in their maturity. It is not because they are unable to consider new ideas as they get older, but because they may have already considered them and either accepted or rejected them.
So yes, I have changed my mind a lot about some very important things. But I am satisfied that the foundations of my beliefs are true *for me,* and I may not need to change my mind nearly as much in the future as I have in the past. I hope, however, that I will NEVER be unwilling to look at new ideas. But I have also learned that it is possible to "be so open minded that your brain falls out."

If I'm interpreting this correctly, you are asking what we used to believe that we no longer believe? For me it's god. I was raised a Christian, but am now an atheist. I studied the natural world (on my own, not at a school or anything) and, over the course of several years, came to the understanding that the universe need not have been created by someone and that there was no evidence that it had been.

Sometimes, it takes a while for your head to figure out what your heart believes in. But once you know what's in your heart, you won't change your mind any more.
