Why would I want to choose something that's not true such as my height or the moon, both ideas are ridiculous, I choose truth over stupidity.
To show that you can control your beliefs, which is the entire point of the exercise; I think this should be pretty simple stuff, and the fact that you don't get it is slightly embarrassing. You didn't just choose to change your political beliefs, you became aware of new information that informed them. You didn't get up one day and think 'I'm going to change my opinion on subject x to this', did you?
To recap: You're claiming that people can just choose to believe in a God. That is quite obviously an absurd notion, you absolute buffoon. I cannot help that I don't believe, because my non-belief is informed by the evidence I have been exposed to.
Tell you what, let's turn it around. Why don't you explain how I would go about using the control we supposedly have over our beliefs to CHOOSE to believe in God, without that belief being informed by evidence I haven't previously been exposed to (not that I know what that information would be, but hypothetically).
