random thought

i like to think you don't choose religion.

in a way, it chooses you.

you don't get to believe what you want, you find out what you actually believe. hence i happen to believe you shouldn't be influenced in that search by noone.

---edit:

of course, there is one fallacy in my reasoning, and i think it's clear: the phrasing starts from the supposition that "well, there actually is nothing out there" and it goes through "if you're honest with yourself you'll probably feel that on your own"  straight to "but if you want to believe in something just think hard about it and don't step on anyone else's individual thought-freedom". It's the only way this society can work... still, in fairness i thought of highlighting said fallacy.
