Do you believe in God? Whatever is your answer that's going to be my answer too, fair enough

Yes you can.
Let me tell you a story. I never believed in any kind of fortune telling for years. Then one day I decided that I should not judge something I have not tried. I bought a set of rune stones (vikings used these to tell the future) and had a go. I was certain they would give false information. But so far they have proved themselves so accurate now I think there may be something in fortune telling. I am not certain yet but now I believe it could perhaps be possible. So by experimentation I have made myself believe in something I did not believe in.

Yes. Thats how some people pass lie detector tests. If you keep telling yourself something then you will eventually believe it. Its just another trick of the mind.

Here is an example:
If someone does not thing about god, one does not truly believe in one. If you suddenly begin to wonder what the hell is going and start believing, even if there is no or close to no proof that you used, you changed your believe.

Grammatically, of course not!
The moment you make yourself believe something you don't believe then you believe it.
You could make yourself believe in something you 'didn't' believe but not in something you 'don't' as, by definition, you 'don't' believe it.
Savvy?

Yes. It's well known that you can believe your own lies if you tell it often enough and keep to the same story. It is part of another problem called false memory syndrome.

Rather a complicated question you can choose to believe in something or you dont if you do not believe in it that is your choice.

I supposed if I put enough energy and thought into it. i find that I would probably not try to convince myself of anything that wasn't true however because that would be just plain silly and possibly detrimental

Only if someone can give me real proofs that what I believe it´s wrong.
