" i don't think belief is a matter of choice. i didn't wake up one day and say, "i think i'll be an atheist". i became an atheist because the facts, as i perceived them, didn't point to a sentient force controlling the universe."

so exactly what is taking facts, weighing them, and coming to a conclusion, if not making a choice? that's always what i thought the steps to decision making were. but maybe the definition has changed since thinking has become such an undesirable pasttime.
