When there is no natural obviousness, beliefs are justified based on logic or reason that is mostly superficial and convoluted. Beliefs exist for some reason, and the reasons are mostly ill motivated. Authorities use beliefs in the baseless ideas in order to grab and control arbitrarily for selective interests.

It is better to remember and recognize through curiosity, experience and knowledge rather than believe or assume based on superficial logic. Ability to question and doubt is natural human tendency of cautiousness, and it should be exercised at all times. Even animals are naturally cautious.

It is natural to doubt and ask plenty of questions. Ask questions and do not settle for wrong answers. It is better to live without answers rather than believe in wrong answers.

Faith and belief can kill your curiosity, your ability to question and your ability to live life with beginners mind of an original explorer. Beliefs, worship or devotions can make you fatalist and ignorant of the reality.

Blind faith and beliefs are psychological sedatives that can help you to bear suffering but never outgrow it. Beliefs and faith is result of your wishful thinking out of desires and aversions unlike trust and confidence which you have through training, practical experience and knowledge.
