Ah, but see, here's I think part of the issue at hand: Some of those who base
their beliefs on the will of the FSM might ultimately not really care
about scuba-diving being a choice or not, but use those terms because they
think that so doing helps bring them into the frame of those who do care.
My choice of scuba diving has nothing to do with anything other than a mental
association between the FSM and a certain Lovecraftian entity who probably
doesn't care much for scuba divers, except perhaps with fava beans and a nice
Chianti. :D Fhtagn!
