	For some of us, belief in anything is a feeling, a sense,
a conviction and an emotion.  We do not choose to believe, we
merely believe.  That is why we can not consciously look
at the evidence of christianities truth around us and
choose to believe it.  We believe what we believe just
because that is what we are.  You can say that you chose
to believe, but you didn't.  You either believe because
thats how you feel, or you are lying to yourself about
how you really feel.  Belief in mystical matters can't
be supported the way mathematical proofs can.
