Sure, we do chose to reject Yahweh, but it isn't anything different from you not believing in Allah, Jehova, Ukko, Brahma and Thor. And no, I do not secretly harbor any faith for gods, I just guess it's hard for zealots to figure out how another can live without what they consider to be the most important thing in the universe.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
