No one will accept something if they don't have the will to do so. Many people still live in denial.

Now you are just plucking words randomly from the dictionary. (None of which I have used).

Again, just dancing around a question rather than answering it. (Or else misunderstanding a question and then answering this misunderstanding rather than the actual question).

You decide that you are convinced, it doesn't just magically happen does it? Why is it possible for people to be 'in denial' about something if there was no will involved in someone being convinced?

If you say that faith is ONLY God-given, why is it fair that you have God-given faith and other people don't?

No I have never claimed to be more special than anyone. You seem to be claiming that.

I have already told you what I view to be evidence.

When you describe Ghost of a Duke as being "in denial", what you actually mean is that he has different beliefs from you, right?

Ghost said: "Where does the choice come into it? You are either convinced or not convinced. You don't choose to be convinced or not convinced."

So I respond, if there is no choice involved why is it possible for someone to be in denial about something.

When did I describe "Ghost" as being in denial?

OK, so you don't actually think Ghost of a Duke as "in denial" about anything. Fair enough. I got the wrong end of the stick.

Do you agree that belief involves choice or not?

You've asked me about the same thing again and again and again, and I have answered you clearly - and expressed my view - every single time. Please stop behaving like a lumbering oaf.

So what is your explanation about someone that is in denial?
