RE: You do not "choose" your beliefs. You are (EITHER) CONVINCED (OR) UNCONVINCED.
Agreed. It is evident in those among us who shout that nature is not what is clearly before our eyes.
I have witnessed this so much with myself over my life. One of the few advantages I have over many is my ability to not feel I have to make my stand over information/perceptions if they are not a direct threat to me.
I choose to believe in things.
When did you "choose" to believe in water?
I was about two years old when I started choosing to drink water.
When did you "choose" to believe in water?
When I was about two years old. Well, I was probably choosing milk first.
Are you suggesting that before age 2, you thought water was simply imaginary?
My thoughts are not always beliefs. There are differences between intellectual thought and choices from the soul.
People can be convinced by intuition or by emotion or by logic. Often subconscious conviction is stronger than conscious conviction.
