...

So... you understand that you believing a thing is not actually going to prevent you from dying, nor enable you to see your loved ones again, right? I mean, I get that those things might be comforting, but they're not reasons you "must" believe, or even should believe; they ain't gonna do anything for you unless they also happen to be true, something that doesn't seem to factor in at all in why you believe.

Yeah, indeed, maybe we have some kind of Pascal's wager situation here...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
