Is belief in God a choice

Is belief in God a choice
EvidenceVsFaith says that there is no choice, belief is if you're convinced of something. I say this is true, but it is still a choice. Yes you rationalise your worldview and have to follow your own logic, there is no real choice, but in the real world, this is what we call choice.

EvF, I think, thinks that belief is unchangeable. Rather like believing in the nose on your face, you cannot then convince yourself that your nose isn't there. We must either already believe in God all along or not, is the logical presumption I assume.

Essentially, Evie denies the possibility of a person changing their mind to become a Christian _or_ changing their mind and becoming an atheist.

Please correct me if I'm wrong Evie.
