Like if a Christian really looked into it, they might be able to see how much of a fairy story it is, if they wanted to. Most would just blank it out though, wouldn't want to believe that there isn't a god, and wouldn't be able to accept it.
so in that sense, it is like a choice.
But if you don't believe in god, i don't think you could just choose to believe, because It doesn't make sense, I wouldn't in a million years be able to believe it, because it sounds like the ramblings of someone on LSD
What evidence - type of evidence would that be then MV? God cannot be proven to exist, that's how God is defined. You may call that bullshit, or claim what is the best argument of non believers: that some fairytale of science will come along with it's magic wand and prove it some day. The intelligent people understand the concept of a non existent God. Stupid people believe in magic like the science theory.

So I agree with you 100%. Belief with evidence makes no sense whatsoever. Belief without evidence is sorta the point.

Careful with my baby girl fr0d0!!
