I know there was a thread similiar to this one but I can't find it.

So, I've been told repeatedly that I have a "choice" to believe or not in God and I choose not to so of course I will suffer the consequences. I don't think this holds true.

I have wanted to believe in God, I mean really really wanted to believe in God and heaven and all that good stuff just for peace of my mind. The thought of being reunited with all my loved ones when I die, absolutely wonderful! Except for whatever reason I just can't.

I can't make myself believe in a definite God(entity with heaven and hell) anymore than I can make myself like the taste of certain foods. So, is believing really about choice or much more complicated?
