Is belief in God a choice

[Retorth]

Beliefin God does in no way imply absolute knowledge.

That I have to say I agree with. There is no certainty.


I think belief in God being a choice really depends on circumstance. There are people who are born into a religion. When I say "born", I mean their parents spoon feed them the desired religion from the day they were born so it becomes a part of their life naturally.

But I have seen some people who, for example, decide to become a Christian, and I have a friend like this, and he still is a very staunch (did I spell that right?) Christian. However, I know another who was raised in a buddhist family, one day started going to church with friends and eventually decided to become Christian and went to church and cell groups etc... on a regular basis. However, she eventually stopped both, though she still believes but isn't one of those staunch believers. In this example, both of them chose to become Christian so it was a decision on their part....though I reckon the staunch believer friend of mine would probably say "God created my path and meant for me to find him" blah blah blah....
