Someone my brother went to school with had some... interesting beliefs. We weren't friends as such, but we talked a lot because this was back when I'd post on Facebook and he'd always comment on it if it was political. Anyway, he was super Catholic and wanted to become a priest (and has since become one). Some of his beliefs included:

1. Believed that women should be paid more than men because they had to raise children
2. Believed that people could be born gay/bi/pan/etc and didn't even consider himself fully straight, but still considered same-sex marriage immoral as well as acting on any homosexual feelings
3. Highly approved of me being asexual (which is only weird in that people like him generally don't believe it's real)
4. Wanted to be the Pope one day (which is highly unlikely because he's Korean)
5. Didn't really care much about trans people one way or the other (only strange because people like him usually did)
6. Believed the Tony Abbott was the best Prime Minister Australia ever had

I know there were other strange beliefs, but this was years ago and I eventually blocked him because I got sick of arguing with him. Also he wrote his own autobiography when he was 15. No, he hadn't achieved anything noteworthy.
