i like to speculate but nothing is certain.

believing makes me feel good because im believing positive thoughts. religious or not, this applies to everyone. 

however, regardless of evidence, i will believe i can achieve that which the evidence contradicts.

if theres evidence that i will die from cancer in a week, i will believe otherwise. i hope you would make this exception as well.

i think by believing, your body and mind take action to make it happen.

thats what the placebo effect is. now, give sight to that blind belief and who knows what you can accomplish.

imo
"Satan, who is the god of this world" 2 Corinthians 4:4 hath blinded the minds of them which believe not
