If belief was simply a choice I could make, things would be a lot easier for me. These are the kind of answers that turned me completely away from Christianity. And I know the people offering them to me meant no harm, and I know you mean no harm. But this answer wasn't enough for me, it still isn't enough for me.
It's like taking someone who's colorblind out and watching a sunset with them. No matter how much you describe what you're seeing, what you're viewing, what you're experiencing, it won't mean anything to that person. It doesn't diminish your experience in any way. It just leaves them without that shared point of reference.
