God or NoGod
It's an option, there are two alternatives. Alternatives suggest choice, but they don't require it. I can choose to point to the first option or the second one.
But can I choose to believe the first or the second one just as easily?
Can I really choose to believe the first or second option at all?
How do I choose to believe something? I might want to believe, but can I really choose to?
I can decide whether to walk into a Church or a Mosque or a Synagogue, I can choose to wear the appropriate dress and I can choose to read the appropriate books. But my belief develops naturally, I can't choose it.
A stream doesn't choose to flow downhill. Our worldview or beliefs are shaped by our environment, we can choose to change the environment, but we can't choose what we believe.
