On thinking and believing

Augustine:

No one believes anything unless one first thought it believable. ... Not everyone who thinks believes, since many think in order not to believe; but everyone who believes thinks, thinks in believing and believes in thinking.
(quoted in Why a Creed?)

i've always been interested in what makes someone "believe" something. it's not entirely based on believability; rather it sometimes seems to be to escape reality.
