For instance, an empiricist's axioms would include "If I observe the occurrence X, 'I observed the occurrence X' is absolutely true." An axiom that you have chosen is that God exists. Both beliefs are by choice, not necessity, and both lead to different logical deductions.
I think that is a good clarification of the situation.
