Think about it more deeply then . . . your "fruit" of responding to me on this forum would indicate a belief that I do indeed exist to respond to . . . otherwise you are insane.
Solipsism. Or consider the possibility that we're all part of someone else's dream, and I'm not even responding to you in reality. I don't exist, you don't exist, just one being--and his or her imagination--are at work here. Thus, I can't say for sure that I believe that I am responding to you, because I may not even exist.
Every belief I hold required a conscious decision.
I don’t see where your post #26 states why you don’t want to demonstrate - in realtime - your stated ability to consciously CHOOSE to believe things.
If that is true, then you have to be able to CHOOSE to believe - be convinced without a doubt - that beliefs cannot be CHOSEN. So how about now - while you are reading this - demonstrate your ability by believing that beliefs cannot be obtained by consciously CHOOSING to have them.
re: "Every belief I hold required a conscious decision."
If by that you mean that you can consciously CHOOSE to believe things, I would ask you - as I have asked ancient warrior who so far has ignored my request - to do as I requested in post #19.
