Choosing to/not to Believe? Not Possible?
#12
RE: Choosing to/not to Believe? Not Possible?
Just to add to Rob's.

Everyone has beliefs... We are talking specifically about religious faith. Dunno
Sure, homeboys can turn to Jesus ... People can and do for many psychological reasons.

The elephant in the room still remains though.
Indoctrination is needed while young for religions to thrive. It's how the mechanism works.
The rest are all exceptions to the rule.

Belief in something you cannot feel or see or hear is NOT something that we evolved to "believe" in for our survival. Hence blind faith.

(There's millions of illogical absurdities about religious belief but what makes me laugh the most is that God waited hundreds of thousands of years until we invented writing /or the printing press to speak to our species though his sacred texts! So all those millions of cavemen died fighting the good fight to survive and none of them were allowed access into heaven even though they were also God's creatures? Give me a break...)
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
