I was reading another thread in this forum and someone was basically talking about a moment where they decided they were an atheist. It struck me as rather odd, I can't remember ever deciding that I didn't believe in God. I don't think it's something I can decide. It's the same with the frequent theist argument of pascal's wager. I can pretend to believe in God, I can go to church and do all that stuff, but I have no control over what I believe or do not believe. I simply do.
