Why would people believe in something which are not proven?

I said in my post #23:

"Life starts with trust/faith/belief in something and it is but natural to do so.
One should continue doing so unless it is proven wrong. Isn't it reasonable, please?"

Which is the same thing as one told "they shed this gullibility of and replace it with rational analysis of the things".
Please reflect again. Right, please?

No. To just believe things is gullibility.
When you replace gullibility with rational analysis, you no longer just believe things.

You have it completely backwards it seems to me.

He means you don't seem to understand (or have taken in) what he has written.

Please read my several posts to friend @TagliatelliMonster for instance my pos t#96 , he does not understand my simple viewpoint. Right, please?

(2) Why would someone have strong belief in something which are not proven?

Because all kinds of histories fall into this category.

So is it rational to believe you are a retired midget porn star until it is proven you are not a retired midget porn star?

You have not yet answered that question.

I don't believe self delusion is proof.

And?
What does that have to do with the fact that some people do?

It is just one's supposition, I never believed that. Right, please?
