You don't know why you've made the decision to not believe.
I have not made a decision not to believe. Are you not paying attention?
You're mindless and clueless concerning your disbelief.
No, I think it is based on the continuing inability of theists, such as yourself, to demonstrate that deities are anything more than products of human imagination. You have been reduced to playing with semantics on an internet forum for the amusement of non-believers.^_^

I do not believe, because I do not find the concept to be convincing, consciously, or subconsciously. Simple as that. Seriously, why should I?

Apparently you have.

Then your belief of rejecting the existence of God is after conscious, thoughtful and purposeful consideration.

The "belief of rejecting"? You don't even know what you are accusing me of anymore.^_^ I certainly don't.

I believe you have lost your train of thought. I believe you are in the wrong forum. I believe you should try "Exploring Christianity". You ain't doing science.:cool:

Did you see your contradiction? You claim to not believe then you claim to not have made a decision to not believe.

No contradiction. Disbelief is not a choice, it is the neutral position. False dichotomy.

Are we now going to work through the Big Book of Theistic Fallacies? You may want to start your own thread for that.

What? Disbelief is not a choice? What is it then?

And disbelief isn't a neutral position, disbelief rejects certain claims. That's not neutral.

Yes, it is. Answer me this: I have some coins in my pocket. Do you believe that it is an odd number of coins, or even?

What does that have with your conscious decision to not believe in God? Disbelief in God isn't a neutral position.

Davian seems to feel he has no obligation to answer any questions himself. He just will continue to ask you the same question regardless of your response. :doh:

You can take information, analyze it and decide if the information is correct or not, can't you?

Yes, but what goes into that decision still isn't fully under my control. Prior experiences and natural thought process tendencies are factors which I cannot directly control; thus why the older people are, the less likely they are to significantly change their beliefs and perceptions and the more in general it takes to change them.
