2: The God-Shaped Hole....Do you admit that even if believing something makes you happier, you still don’t want to believe it unless it’s true?
I would, and do, admit that I don’t want to believe it unless it’s true. I watch myself make that decision more than enough to be honest about it.
(I’ll note that believing things that aren’t true makes me miserable and stressed. My verbal beliefs go about interfering with my behavior and my aversion to hypocrisy frustrates me. I’m usually better off believing the truth and just going along with the lie. However, I’ve assumed that in the least convenient possible world my God shaped hole was repared to normal function.)
