People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive. - Blaise Pascal
There’s clearly a difference between “I *don’t* believe it” and “I don’t *want* to believe it”.
I can agree with this. But, it has to do both ways doesn't it? Some don't want to believe, but some do want to. Definitely some people don't want there to be a God, for whatever reason, but definitely some people do want there to be one, mostly as a hope for afterlife and advantages in this life. I do believe that there are also those who do want to believe and can't, and those who wish they didn't but they do. I just wonder how much of it you really get to decide.
