What a pathetic way to make yourself not feel like an idiot for believing in something that you know is not rational. It's no better than saying "If the non-physical comedian exists then my belief that he is causing me to laugh is rational and if he doesn't exist then my belief is not rational" It's not an argument for ANYTHING and thus not a reason to believe ANYTHING - It's simply "What is the status of a belief that P considering x or y is true?" - Completely pathetic.
