Not at all. Knowledge is a choice just as beliefs are. Common knowledge between two or more people doesn't necessarily mean common beliefs. The Shiites and Sunnis know pretty much the same things, but their beliefs differ considerably as is noted by the violence in Iraq and other places in the Middle East.

Not necessarily! Many of our beliefs come from the home, from our upbringing, or religion.
Young Muslims are taught martyrdom at a very early age, from their imams, and many exercise this action later in life, yet they must debate the value of this act amongst themselves, and it's probably a small percentage that actually follow through with the final act. Perhaps it's non belief that allows one to do it and one to refrain. Perhaps it's lack of courage, but one thing is for sure, they all started out on an even playing field.

First of all,knowlege is kinda like the stones used to build the pyramids....after the first layer is in place(stage1)then comes stage2,stage three,and so on until you reach the top...although it's unlikely a stage 2 knows each thing a stage 1 knows,it's imposible for a stage 1 to even comprehend a stage 2 until they become one ,and so on up the intellectual ladder,therefore,your assumption that each person knows the same amount,may indicate a lower level on the ole totem pole

Perhaps. But people could have the same knowledge and experiences and end up with different lessons. They end up with different beliefs regardless if we might know the same things. Every person thinks and feels differently.

Nope. I am knowledgable on evolution, and I choose to believe these people are being highly misled, and twisting facts to meet their own agenda.
No two people see the same things as the same. Same with religion, you can have one paragraph and 10 different priests with a different interpretation.

No not everyone.
Many would have the same beliefs, and many would not. Each individual is different, with different personality traits.

so... this is really like a "nature vs. nurture" question almost... do our experiences, ideas make us, or is there more to it...
I would think that someone who knows what I know would be inclined to have the same beliefs... but I doubt they would be exactly the same...

No, because people have different feelings about what they know. Knowing the same things as someone else doesn't necessarily mean that you will place the same value on them.

I doubt it. We all have access to the same information. We process that information differently.
