Do people have a right to believe anything they want, even if that belief is dangerous?

I read an interesting article this morning in which the author posits that we don't have the right to believe whatever we want to believe if those beliefs fly in the face of facts ("The earth is flat!") or are morally repugnant ("Ethnic cleansing is a reasonable political solution."). What are your thoughts on the issue?

rights exist only if there are people willing to dispose of those who infringe upon them but with laws criminalizing victims and allowing criminals to sue should they injure themselves while trespassing on property im inclined to say that the only rights are those you can enforce yourself, for yourself and for those you care about.

thats how rome was able to hand out rights to whomever they felt was worthy of them, by trampling the perceived rights of other peoples and subjugating them with the promise of the "right" to less subjugation should they play along and work towards the betterment of the conquering empire from a far away land, usually by giving up their children as tributes,

but should those children survive their 30 year service they would have MUCH better lives than they would have had if they had stayed living in savage tribes so there were both ups and downs to having romans rights forced on you through physical force and threat of slow death.
