Is belief in God a choice
#2
RE: Is belief in God a choice
Belief in something is not a choice ... belief is the result of a rationalisation process (horribly twisted in theists I know) that brings that person to a particular POV.

I do not believe in a god. I ceased to believe because of the lack of available evidence and that the very idea of a creator god is irrational. The choice I made was to view the universe from a rational perspective and it is that that led me to disbelieve in all forms of deity. I did not choose that stance nor could I choose to believe again. I could no more choose to believe in a god than I could switch my ability to think off.
