In response to this
I think that at the end of the day we all believe what we want to believe but I personally lean towards logic, reasoning, and science and generally apply them to new thoughts and ideas. So, I’m more of a skeptic and I do not believe our feelings determine objective truth. I think our feelings can match a truth but not determine a truth. So, I wouldn’t have much confidence in a particular belief unless it is something I would WANT to believe and is convenient to believe and which serves me well to believe and that, of course, brings me back to my first statement; that we believe what we want to believe.
My rational mind governs all of my decisions, by which I mean I rationalize all of the emotions that govern my decisions. 😄
