"Certainty", in the way I think you mean it, is never an option in theology. You're still thinking in scientific terms. Like you have to know without doubt that a God exists. You cannot.
So you're of the opinion that believing a lie that makes you feel good is the best course of action? Despite the detrimental effects it can potentially have on your life and on those around you?
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
