Here’s an interesting exercise.

What are some reasons that you don’t agree with for believing positions that you do agree with? What do you consider believing the right thing for the wrong reason?

For example –

I support abortion, but not because a woman should have the power to decide what to do with her own body. The question is not with her body, but what rights the unborn person inside her may or may not have. And the ‘get your rosaries off our ovaries’ line really bugs me.

I’m not Christian, but not because of all the nasty stories from the Old Testament. IMHO, they don’t affect whether or not God exists – it is possible that God does exist as described by the Bible and that he is simply a monster.

I oppose the war in Iraq, but I don’t believe that it reflects a desire by the United States to build an empire.
