No fr0d0, I never said that atheists or theists never change their minds, and that they stay in one stance forever...that would be ridiculous.
I'm telling you that it's not a matter of choice - because you couldn't exactly compare it for instance...to choosing a flavour of crisps or a drink to have...it's not like "Hmm, I think I'll believe THIS today"...and it's not like a long term process either ..where 2 years later you think "Yep...I think I'll believe in God/not believe in God anymore afterall!
... I'ts not voluntrary. Give me the evidence that belief is some fucking kind of preference somehow! Lol.
You're either convinced or you're not...it's not voluntrary at all, as far as I'm concerned...it's involuntrary.
It's not just that I don't believe in free will, but you couldn't compare it with anything voluntrary like being 'willing' to choose what to have to eat... "ooh, I think I'll have pasta today"!! This sorta thing is not comparable with "You know what...it's been 10 years of atheism and...I think I'll believe in God after all!" - it's not like that. Belief is not a matter of policy, it's not a choice.
