You cannot "decide" to believe something. You either believe it or not. Your beliefs can change if you find new evidence or new arguments and thoughts that you have not considered before.

I cannot "chose" to believe (as opposed to pretend to believe) that the moon is made of cheese. There is no mental technique or meditation method that will make me properly believe that. If there is another moon landing and cheese is recovered from drilling samples . . . maybe.
