I agree belief is very complex. What I think is impossible though, yet many theists seem to tell me is easy to do, is to flip beliefs on a whim. There's no way I can do that. Nor can I suddenly decide to find evidence convincing that I previously didn't. It would have to be a gradual process, if absolutely nothing new is happening.

I'm not saying you were claiming people can switch their beliefs so easily of course Smile
