again, it is a belief - it doesn't matter how probable something is, if it's uncertain and you perceive it as certain, then there is an element of belief involved. it goes without saying that the amount of belief involved with waking up in the morning is much smaller than the amount of belief required for a god, but belief is still there. don't be afraid, witty. embrace your non-believing beliefs!
