Well, explain to me how one can force themselves into believing whatever they like just cos they feel like it?
Like the example I've already given on the 'Ex Theists' Thread:
If you can give me evidence how you can just force yourself to believe whatever in this situation, rather than being compelled....go ahead.
As far as I'm concerned your beliefs develop because you are compelled to believe certain things, and then those beliefs drive you.

You are compelled by your experience.
