[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I write the Isha Yiras Hashem substack.

I think that belief is ultimately a choice. I have met many people who claim to be atheists, but I find a little bit of questioning uncovers a belief system that is surprisingly robust in most people.

If I ask "Do you believe that there is an element to the world that is not purely physical", most people will say yes.

What's interesting is that the people who say no are among the most superstitious of anyone I have ever met. Another oddity, and perhaps I am asking the wrong people, but so far every single person I have met who did not believe in any world outside the physical was Chinese from Mainland China.  [/quote]

I agree that belief is ultimately a choice. I think the idea that we should be logically convinced is very culturally specific and not really reflective of the nature of faith. I am an adherent of the "faith is a leap into the absurd" and "help me in my doubt, God" schools of thought. [/quote]
