Is belief and/or disbelief a choice?
Kind of got into this in another forum but I thought it would make a good thread here.
ULTIMATELY, do you think belief/disbelief is a choice? I am not talking about something like "which denomination do you like best," but rather something like "do you A) hold claim X to be true, B) hold claim X to be false, C) neither hold claim X to be true or false, or D)whatever else may lay between."
Can you make yourself believe in something simply because you want to? Or is belief involuntary. Can you make yourself believe that there are really such things as Unicorns simply by wanting to believe and in a way that is more than just putting on an act?
Or, do we have no control over what we believe? You either believe or you don't.
FOR ARGUMENT SAKE, can we please accept the following definition of belief for this poll and discussion?
