Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful, without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too? - Douglas Adams
My comment: The garden of reality is exactly as beautiful, without fairies, as it is if one believes that they are there, since there is nothing to show for the existence of those fairies.
The fact that a believer is happier than a sceptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous one. - George Bernard Shaw
My comment: Some people like to get drunk - they think it feels nice - but it harms the human being. Its reward is false, harmful and temporary.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
...Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?”
Epicurus – Greek philosopher, BC 341-270
