Before answering this question, I will start from the beginning. What is the precondition for us to believe something? For example, to believe in God? Of course, someone has to let us know. Then it depends on us whether we accept this message or not. And people’s reactions are different. Some will believe without difficulty; others will not know what it depends on. I would say from the inner setting of man. Some people have a natural relationship to faith, and all the arguments they testify to support faith without difficulty. But again, there are people who, in turn, seem to be opposed to the faith, and nothing will convince such people. For example, you can tell them what order, harmony purposefulness is in the universe; it can not be by itself. There must be someone behind it who is extremely intelligent. And that is God. However, these people reject this argument with words. No God, that’s all Mother Nature does. You will argue for free that nature cannot think that it is not a person for these people. They do not know to refute this argument, but they will not come to faith. Many people are indeed believers because they have been brought up since they were little. Yes, it’s true, but it’s not always true. I personally know people who were believers in childhood but became unbelievers in adulthood. The causes can be different. For example, some negative experience or faith comes into conflict with our life principles and hinders us. But you must have heard of people who were brought up in an atheistic spirit as children and later became believers. Of course, it didn’t go the same. These people had a compelling experience that led them to faith. There are exceptions here, too, that these people do not even accept the faith, but very few such people. It is clear that many factors influence our faith, but these factors affect people differently. Everyone decides as they see fit. But it remains a mystery why one chose the way one did. It’s kind of like explaining why he likes blondes more than brunettes. It cannot be explained. That’s how a person is set up. I was raised in the faith. Faith in God has always been something natural to me. As a young man, I rejected arguments against faith. These arguments could not convince me. My parents never had to force me to go to church for Holy Mass. I wanted to go alone and voluntarily. That’s how I was set up. However, I can understand people who have different settings. Man indeed has free will, but we usually do what we have a natural inclination to do. When we reject something, even though we have free will, it isn’t easy to do it. Maybe this whole article will lead someone to believe that it is actually determined whether someone will be a believer or an unbeliever. I’m curious about your opinion.
