Is belief really a choice?

Then I chose to be a Wiccan.

What about this: I chose to research Wicca, and even tried as much ritual or 'magic' as I could at home, in solitary. No covens. I couldn't muster up belief, no matter what I tried. I went into it thinking I would feel something, gain some sort of knowledge. I did - mostly of mythology, but felt nothing other than that. That's why I always quote Lewis Black. "I was born and raised Jewish, and when that didn't work out I went to some of the others and said '...eh...fuck it.'"
