Then please explain to my how faith works, your example didn't make much sense, explain it better.
It's not your choice, the Bible says everything is predetermined by God.
EDIT: And I guess your quote is even more inaccurate now. The teens who don't believe in God didn't "choose" it, God decided they wouldn't believe in him. God actually wants the majority of teens to not believe in him, I know it sounds irrational and ridiculous, but it's the truth apparently!
i read a book that's title was How Faith Works so i can help you with this
Faith is the surety that if you take action what you intend on happening will happen just as long as you believe
example: (this is one Jesus told of) if you say to a mountain "be cast into the sea" and truly believe this which you have said will come to pass and the mountain will indeed be cast into the sea then what you have said WILL come to pass
another example: (Jesus Called this man the most faithful he has found) There was a man whos daughter was sick and was going to die so he went to seek Jesus to get his daughter healed(it might have been his son not daughter) so he found Jesus and said to him "Lord my daughter is very sick and if you say the word she will be healed and i can be on my way" and Jesus said "i have not found such great faith even in Israel"
