I was thinking yesterday about faith and beliefs in general, because I was thinking about how I don't believe in god, but I do believe bad things that upset me. I can see that a belief in god is helpful for people and I can see that some of my beliefs are unhelpful because they are distressing, but how much of a conscious choice is faith? Can I choose to believe in god to comfort me and choose not to believe the Govt stuff? Can I choose to believe that Dog is really Max? I don't know... Everyone says it's that simple; a choice I make, like ordering a meal in a restaurant, but I'm not convinced. The way I see it is that I could choose to believe that the sky is green, and I could even tell myself the sky is green 50x a day...but how long will it take before a conscious decision becomes accepted belief??
