Does that let you dismiss his beliefs? Because, it certainly looks like you're not even seriously considering why someone might have a different opinion from you. That looks an awful lot like inherent supremacy of your own opinion over that of others.

It's true that considering other opinions is important, but I think you're taking this line of thinking too far. There are some beliefs that are just wrong. It's a mistake to act like all opinions are necessarily equal.

Who are you to determine what beliefs are "just wrong" or not?

Where did I say that it's entirely up to me? Some statements are facts, whether or not you or I believe them.
