"I would dispute your claim that you have embraced beliefs which you have not done so consciously. Why? Because the incontrovertible truth is that ALL belief is an exercise of the will (choice)..." Then I would ask you to demonstrate your ability to consciously engender a new belief by doing as requested in the OP. Easily answered by showing your premise is illogical and perhaps even irrational, for you originally wrote: I have never been able to consciously choose any of the beliefs that I have... This would mean that everything you believe, i.e., everything you consider to exist or is true, you have absolutely no involvement in embracing those beliefs. So, anything you hold to exist or to be true is therefore innate and unalterable, because for a belief to change in your view, it cannot involve your conscience; intellect with the process of reason nor your affections, an affinity, desire, attraction for something. And if anything you believe exists or is true does change, it thus must be due to some invisible external or internal force which you are totally unaware of and thus you cannot even know your belief has changed or that it no longer exists. Bottom line..... fatuousness.
