// It's morally repulsive to me to believe something just because it makes me feel better.

If you have an equally valid choice to believe something positive or negative, why would you chose the later?



Ideally you choose the one with the better logical argument. Feelings or consequences shouldn't factor in it.


Why not? If it's all the same in the end, feelings and consequences might be the most important factors.


Like I said, the two choices are equally valid.

Why would you assume that the shittier choice is more logical?
