Oh my goodness Eva, this is so stupid. You are lucky I'm home sick. Otherwise I wouldn't have the time to go through this foolishness.

- I can prove how much money I have in the bank. So believing isn't necessarily.
- I don't believe in reincarnation.
- I've never heard of a Flying Spaghetti Monster.
- I used to believe in Santa Claus when I was a child. But then I grew up.
- I don't see any evidence for believing in a matrix. And no compelling reason to believe in any matrix.
- I never voted for Trump. I don't want him to be president. And all the judges --- even ones he appointed --- say there is no evidence of fraud.

I have good reason to believe in God. No good reasons to believe in those other things.

As far as I understand it, you believe in (the notion of) God making you happy, not that He necessarily exists. Whether or not the deity exists is besides the point since it cannot be objectively proved. Unless you are saying more that the deity must, because you are happy - which indeed would be irrational.

No. I'm not saying that. Me being happy, because I believe in God, is not proof He exist.
