It might make sense to back up a minute or two and talk about why immoderation is bad in the first place. It's obviously not always bad, of course. Some immoderate beliefs are great precisely because they're immoderate. The belief in an omniscient and omnipotent God, for example, is a pretty immoderate belief. But believing it and being convicted of it helps billions of religious believers maintain moderation in other areas of their lives (and of course also leads to immoderation, which we'll discuss more later). You probably have some immoderate beliefs that do that too. (We'll get into more of the nuances and complexities of immoderate beliefs and their link to moderation later.)
