I don't know if
it makes any sense, but I'm starting to feel as if our
beliefs and stuff are less of a choice and more of a
predisposition. If not a predisposition, it's at most a
subconscious choice. Like, maybe just moved and changed by our
environment and people around us. Because, when you think about
it, there are some things we just cannot truly explain /why/ we
favor or believe or go against. There are things we can,
though. I can't tell you /why/ I find green to be the most
appealing color or /why/ I'm atheist or /why/ I prefer
indie and underground music to any other; I just know that it
feels right to me. And I think this goes for everything, which
is why I think it's so immature to bash someone for their
religion or beliefs, to a certain extent. On the other hand, we
do choose some of our beliefs. I definitely chose to be a
vegetarian and have good reasons as to why I am and support
animal rights. I chose to be pro-choice with fact to support
why. I chose to exercise and start getting healthier and have
reasons why. So I think there are just a lot of thinks that are
either predispositions or heavily and unconsciously influenced
by the world around us, because our opinions change; our tastes
change; our beliefs change. I kind of felt that maybe we
don't choose all of our beliefs. It just hurts my head to
think about.
