> people's beliefs are a choice
no, they're not - but i can see why you'd want to escape human limitations and TRY to believe something like this

if i say to a man: "walk off this cliff. you'll fly", he cant just choose to believe he will. he can try for years and years, he can try to convince himself and hypnotize himself, but the EFFORT having to go into that, just proves to himself that he doesn't believe it.

i suspect thats why you wrote a fucking essay to try and convince us all how 'saved' you are, but its an ACT. now, acting can be fun, and you might hope it beings a self fulfilling prophecy, i managed to act out christian belief for a couple months, but its fragile as fuck and it will collapse. you cant escape human limitations you faggot

(kirkegaards faith is something different to belief)

that there is no god
that there is a God
that which comes after death
that for some reason I'm much less interested in doing what interested me less than two months ago
that everyday is quieter
that everyone is out to humiliate me
that getting a kick out of someone else's expense is only natural
that I'm a jerk
that I'm jaded
that I'm naive
persistent thoughts are becoming more distinct
that I'll die too soon and could have been smoking
that people laugh at me
that I'm prideful
that I have dignity
that I'm clumsy
that everyone knows I'm clumsy
that people can read my mind by looking at my face.
that my writing isn't very good
that I'm dumb
that I'm smart, but can't articulate anything
that I'll let down my parents
knowing how un-alluring this sorta stinkingthinking is
that my exes having poor relationships with their fathers wasn't the problem
That no one but my family considers me when I'm not around
that I'm not idealistic, but things still don't look great

That everyone else feels the same, but is strong enough to never bring it up.
