If it's pleasant to believe in X and it's also pleasant to believe in Y I think it's possible for some people to believe in both even if they are logically contradictory, even if they know they're logically contradictory. I don't even think it's very unusual, they just say "God works in mysterious ways" or something equivalent and continue to believe that black is white. There is a name for this quality of mind, faith, and some people think it's the greatest of all virtues. I don't.
