In the same way, your choices are based on your DESIRES.
And you don't "choose" your DESIRES.
You can choose to pursue your DESIRES and you can choose to repress your DESIRES.
But you can't choose to desire something you find repulsive and you can't choose to stop desiring something you find seductive.
RE: You do not "choose" your beliefs. You are (EITHER) CONVINCED (OR) UNCONVINCED.
