Okay, I'll bite.
Any of those beliefs are just fine with me as long as they are not pushed in my face. If something works for you, go with it. If it isn't working for you, admit it; maybe even ask for help or just someone to talk to. Hanging on to a belief system just for the sake of it will likely cause more harm than good to you and those around you.
Also, keep in mind this forum is Russ' house, not yours, mine or anyone else. It would be prudent to understand you are a guest here, so with that, show some manners and be on your best behavior. Contribute if you can and try to have some discernment, some facts and some proof. Hope isn't a bad thing if it is realistic and keeps you focused, regardless of whether whatever it is you hope for is obtainable.
And to more directly answer your questions...
Study, research, think. Put yourself in the position of the ones you accuse and see if those actions make any sense. Be a detective--means, motive and opportunity. If you dig, you'll find out more than you want to know.
