		On the other hand, if he had believed the ship to be safe, but gone on to inspect it because of the lives at stake, he would have discovered that the ship was unsafe and avoided the tragedy.

	Stand to Reason Commentary - You've Got to Believe Something

	IMDb user comments for "Believe Nothing" (2002) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Believe Nothing isn't necessarily a programme which breaks new ground, nor does it necessarily have an award-winning script, but one thing you would have to be a complete and total 'w*nk biscuit' (Bottom quote) to deny, is that Rik Mayall is absolutely amazing.
		So, I would argue that even though the actual programme Believe Nothing may not be anything special on its own, with Rik Mayall as the main character, it is easily as good as anything else they are showing on British television at the moment.
		Believe Nothing is suppose to be the second coming of The New Statesman.

	Faith and Reason [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Augustine believed that Platonists were the best of philosophers, since they concentrated not merely on the causes of things and the method of acquiring knowledge, but also on the cause of the organized universe as such.
		He argued that since the negative consequences of believing are few (diminution of the passions, some pious actions) but the gain of believing is infinite (eternal life), it is more rational to believe than to disbelieve in God's existence.
		Nonetheless, James believed that while philosophers like Descartes and Clifford, not wanting to ever be dupes, focused primarily on the need to avoid error, even to the point of letting truth take its chance, he as an empiricist must hold that the pursuit of truth is paramount and the avoidance of error is secondary.

		To believe at all as such is a concentration and schooling to exclude the implied by adopting a hypothesis or faith that reflects non-worryingly or deceitfully rationalizes the rejected.
		Now this refusal to believe what one believes and exactly as one believes, is the first condition for all those who are in desire in any sense whatsoever; the man who is in love perforce becomes a liar, self-hypnotised by his morbid ornamentation.
		When by the wish to believe- it is of the necessity incompatible with an existing belief and is not realized through the inhibition of the organic belief- the negation of the wish, faith moves no mountains, not till it has removed itself.

	The Will to Believe
		One may believe what one hopes to be true, or what makes one happiest; and here we seem to have a sharp disagreement with Clifford.
		The option to believe or not to believe is live, forced, and momentous.
		If you were concerned only to believe the truth you would believe everything: that it is raining and that it is not raining, that God exists and that God does not exist.
