I really did believe God didn't exist yeah. I made a conscious choice in that moment and ceased to believe in God. One minute, God. the next minute, no God. You don't believe this is possible?
I believe we make decisions and our beliefs change. But we don't really have a "choice" in it, because belief is not a matter of policy (for one I don't believe any of our actions are...not only are we driven by our beliefs and they're not a matter of policy...but as you know, I don't believe in free will).

Yes. In bullshit psychobabble language (which I'm with you on this one, as you know) I made the choice/s I was pre-programmed to make.
