Do you believe; and why?

I think many people trick themselves into thinking that humans are, by nature, logical creatures.

After all. We wouldn't believe something if we didn't have any logic behind it, right?

There's a reason every single person in the world is capable of justifying their beliefs, whether that be to themselves or to others around them.

Indeed, one can justify or rationalize anything to themselves using nothing more than desire, need and comfort to do so. The problem comes into play when those justifications and rationalizations are met with a request for evidence that isn't purely anecdotal or internal. 

That is where the rubber fails to meet the road, so to speak.
