Oh man.... how you guys are constantly contradicting yourselves.
I've never claimed to have chosen any beliefs.
Oh man . . . how can you ever be expected to hold your own in a debate if you can't even read?
Your tone shows enough pride for that claim and your tone shows enough disapproval in my choice.
Let us be honest for once, you can't sort knowledge from doubts if you are not honest to yourself. And that is all the matter of faith comes down to, being honest to yourself, which is a choice. And hence, your we can't choose our beliefs which partially is true, gets destroyed.
We can't choose our beliefs in the sense honestly believe in a falsehood, however we can choose to deceive ourselves or be honest with ourselves, and that provides either confusion (in deceiving oneself) or clarity (in being honest to oneself).
And that is all it comes down to, responsibility to what our hearts accept and follow and believe and value.
