Can a belief ever be "debunked" by anything since beliefs only exist in mind?

IMHO, those who value their own sensory perception and reasoning above their beliefs are subject to having their beliefs "debunked."

But that is the very weakest form of belief - like doubting Thomas demanding to thrust his hands in Christ's wounds before he would believe.

The beliefs of others cannot be shaken by anything at all.

That’s an interesting reply but it completely avoids the question I asked. Weak or strong all beliefs exist only in the mind. How can even a weak belief be “debunked” if the mind that holds it chooses to hang on to it?
