You don't understand. Processing with your brain doesn't mean doing it. I can process eating rice but it doesn't mean I have eaten rice
Again, everything you do, even the moving of your hands to take rice and throwing that rice in your mouth etc., is all handled and processed in and by your mind and brain. Everything decision/choice you make is handled and processed through your mind and brain. undecided

Kobojunkie:
Up until this point, the definition of Faith, I had been applying is as below..

So when I spoke of choosing Faith, I meant more like you may understand as choosing a religion. undecided


Faith is the belief

Off course

A belief is a consideration of something as true even when you cannot determine how it is true



You consider XYZ religion when it is defined as something that has to do with XYZ God as something that is true even when you cannot determine how it is true

Off course

You cannot do anything if all your brain cells are dead


But you don't think of eating while putting the desired food in your mouth or/and while eating what you wished for

I explained to you how I arrived at that belief.... did I not? undecided

No part of the process happened arbitrarily. I told you I actively made choices in choosing the God, the belief in God and obedience of the commandments stipulated by the God of my choice etc., it is all a matter of choices which I made of my own. No magic or voodoo involved. undecided

Actually you do think of eating while putting food in your mouth, else you would be putting food in your mouth then. undecided
You may not be consciously be aware of this but that is what you are thinking when you are putting food in and then chewing it down etc., undecided

The belief has caused you to say these things

But that doesn't mean you can determine how the God you believe in is true

You also can't demonstrate how you chose the belief after investigating


Don't ask me to ask Google

Don't divert

Tell me how you chose the belief

You are wrong


You are not in my mind so you cannot determine what I am thinking


Look at this &$$* saying I may not be aware of what I'm thinking



You have failed



Go back to your Google Bla Bla Bla

Google refers you to several people who claim to know Bla Bla Bla


But that doesn't change what I am saying

You are wrong

The investigation itself was a choice

You chose to investigate

Then you accidentally came across something to believe

Then you started considering your belief as a choice...


What you were told about how the brain works also appeared accidentally to you as the truth

Well, if your intention had all along been to ignore my truth so you can assert yours in its place, you should have made this known from the get go so I would not have wasted my time explaining my journey to you. undecided

I leave you to continue on your own from here then. undecided

It depends on your definition of thinking


I consider thinking as focusing your mind on a particular thing (abstract or non-abstract) at a particular time.



You cannot be FOCUSED on something with your mind while chewing



When I say focused

I mean not doing anything else intentionally

Everyone is born an atheist
Faith occurs by chance in your head
It also disappears by chance
That's a lie!
Your parents sent you to school and hand over a legacy to you but you purposely decided to throw it into the trash. You CHOSE to be an atheist!
So if your parents aren't atheists but you CHOSE atheism when you grew up then you're supposed to throw away everything they gave you including your education.
The only thing you should have done is improve on the legacy they handed over to you which is "faith in God" but you threw it into the trash and now you're crying all over Nairaland wanting all others to throw away their own too.
Well if you can't go further with that legacy but threw it away i'm telling you now that millions will improve in their understanding of God!

Nobody is born an atheist, you grew up to make your choice! smiley

You are the liar here

Kobojunkie tried to turn things upside down by claiming that Neuroscience and Psychiatry mean you choose your belief


But I'm not taking that as anything but vomit

Faith comes by hearing! Romans 10:17

So you lied! People CHOOSE to put faith (trust) in the things they hear! wink

That's credulity, real faith has substance that's visible to everyone.
For instance when the Bible says a time will come when people from different races will come under one umbrella and used the Bible to settle all racial disputes, and they will stop thinking of wars nor participate in military services.
It's like this is not possible because there are thousands of ethic groups and languages on this planet and they're always nepotistic about their own race.
But today a group has emerged out of all the religions on this planet and they have achieved exactly what the Bible foretold only for unbelievers to call them names like Cult and what have you because they find it difficult to believe that people from all races can willingly surrender themselves under the umbrella of one group! Isaiah 2:2-4

So faith is working out something BENEFITIAL that everyone can SEE! Matthew 5:13-16 smiley

In Christianity, The RIGHTEOUS, The Faith is CHRIST. And you Choose CHRIST when you ACKNOWLEDGE WITHIN YOU WHAT CHRIST IS IN YOU AND HAS DONE FOR YOU.
