Do you believe; and why?

And that is fine by me as long as their beliefs don't start effecting the lives of other people.  That is where the conflict arises.

Doing something simply because it feels good is a justification, no doubt. However, I think the reasonableness of it can be debated. 

In the example I provided, the person could easily "justify" their belief because it comforted them. The problem is that the belief they hold is not grounded in known reality. They may be happy, but have opened themselves up to believing all sorts of things that aren't logical.
