If it's almost automatic, then is it really a choice? I think the issue I have is that choice involves preference. I don't think believing or not believing in god is a preference. I would prefer to believe I can live forever, but even if I would prefer that, I literally can't. |
I think it still is a choice, yes.
Even in face of strong evidence, a decision remains to be made. It is like this in politycs also. I can show you hard evidence that some person is a crook, but you have to decide if that matters or not when you vote.
In the end, believing or not is something we decide alone, andI still think it is the most important decision a human being takes, one way or another.
Even men of faith have to decide, because religion is hard, it is a journey. Sometimes no amount of evidence is strong enough.
And certainly this work the other way to, if you show me tons of evidence of a non-theistic universe, I still would had to decide.
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
