It's called "Pascal's Wager"

What gives your "beliefs" weight?

Pascal's "fake it 'til you make it" notion does work for some folks.
Thanks for reminding me. I'd forgotten about a 400-year-old's philosophy.

My beliefs are just that: beliefs.
I'm not holding on to something hoping to fully believe it someday or that it's risk management.
They are what I know to be true to the best of my knowledge and experience. Not hope or wishfulness.

I've never heard of anyone that comprehends the creation of the universe. It's fascinating to me.
