To Louis:
Do you think a person can "choose" not to believe? People kid themselves every day, and many many people have actually sworn in court to tell the truth, and then lie through their teeth. Some folks have even perfected the art of repeating a false statement over and over so many times, they convince themselves its true.
From the little kid who looks at his mother, innocence filling his eyes as the chocolate makes a ring around his mouth while he says, "No, Mommy I didn't eat the cookie," to the belligerent teen who screams at her parents, "I hate you and wish I was dead!" to the man who conveniently "forgets" about his wife and kids while he's out of town at a convention...
Oh, yeah, people "choose" not to believe every single moment of every day!
Peace be with you,
