Why even THINK to indulge atheism?

Atheism isn't a thing you can consider or indulge.  In fact, there isn't a choice involved at all.

I can choose to proclaim belief or disbelief; that's a choice.  I cannot choose to actually believe or not believe.

I think I heard this on TTA podcast once:  If you hang me by my feet from the top of the empire state building I can proclaim that I do not believe in gravity; that doesn't change the fact that I believe I will fall if you let me go. (paraphrased)
