When i read the original post i thought it was about changing what you believe like the original poster had stated, but it seems it has changed into if you can change your actions not your beliefs. Like the guy who doesn't eat meat and the smoking guy, that is not changing your beliefs but rather changing how you act. You might stop smoking due to the baby having problems from it but most likely you still feel the same about smoking and belief it is fine but avoid it to avoid harming the child. This is easy.

On the other hand changing what you believe like the original post stated is a lot harder, changing actions is harder than changing beliefs. I can act like i whatever i choose to act like but if i believe something it is harder to change. If i believe abortion is bad and i protest it but one day i want to run for mayor in a town where the people are democrats, i might say i am now for abortion and act like i am for it but in my mind i still believe what i believed before but act like i have changed. It is not impossible but hard.
