I'm not exactly sure you can pick and choose these sorts of beliefs. I never really thought to myself "Golly gee, I think I'll be an atheist today!" Perhaps one can choose to read certain books and participate in certain discussions that lead them to unbelief, but that's very different from simply choosing to be an atheist. In my case, I went from being a Christian who was glad God existed to being an atheist who wished for God to exist. Why the hell would I choose that?
Maybe Raweley-Ol'-Boy should consider that some atheists believe as they do because of sound arguments. Seems like he's trying to paint us infidels as rebellious to confirm his own beliefs.
