Can you choose what you believe?

[fkusumot]

A lot of interesting responses. Just to be clear, the question isn't "Can your beliefs change?", the question is "Can you choose your beliefs?" It's two very different things.

Part of whatever your own personal answer to the question is will be determined by what you think a "belief" is. For myself a belief is something much different than a preference or an opinion.

Thanks for all the thoughtful debate.
