Choosing to/not to Believe? Not Possible?

[Angrboda]

Are you saying that love and hatred are a choice?  Seems to me those are simply responses to stimuli.  I'd like to see some psychological research to back up your belief.

They are a choice.

"That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

I suspect one can encourage the inclination to love another, or discourage that inclination, but the inclination itself is not a matter of volition. If things were as you say, people would not regularly be ending relationships simply because they no longer love the other person. Surely, simply choosing to love the other person would be more beneficial than giving up what they have already invested in the relationship. What you say makes no sense.

Love of God will hold on to proofs of God and cling to certainty of him, while hate towards his proofs and way and the holy sacred name of his, will make people oppose proofs. It's a choice.

This also suggests, particularly if that love is a choice, that a Muslim will persist in their belief in spite of clear evidence to the contrary, that the Quran is a fraud, and that the proofs are not such. But this is what you are suggesting, that the decision to love or hate is independent of the conditions one finds oneself in, and of the logical force of facts and reason.
