It's an alloy of Circular Reasoning, Special Pleading and Confirmation Bias, rendering to "I know it's true because I believe it's true and that proves it".

I know Santa is real because I get presents every year.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
