I say this as a theist and a devout christian. I am seriously wonderng why you would choose to be an atheist.
The conversation would get heated if I didn't put that up there! hahaha
There are litterally no classifications as of what to believe. It's all a matter of choice. You indeed do choose what to believe and what not to believe, and as such I can see no reason for atheism. You wanted examples so here they are. You must choose to believe for one. You would then choose, theism. But if you do choose to believe, you are still believing something. I suggest that because you must choose to believe in theism, you are making a choice to believe. Before you ever choose not to believe in anything, you believed in God, God, God. You never made the decision to devote to pure skepticism and hiding, masks or charades. You never made that choice yet.
What do you choose to believe? Why do you think there is a choice as to what to believe anyway?
Is there something that comes before us that causes us to choose to believe in atheism (of all the wacko types of choices there would be to make).
atheists are simply people who are not convinced that God exists and why should they choose to believe something that hasnt been proven to them ?
what is FSM ?
and is this some kind of comedy skit or are you being serious ?
