Well, the question of "belief" was asked and answered in relation to mojo

Actually, the posts Karen is referring to are those having to do with the general utility of belief, not specific to Mojo. Related, perhaps, but quite different discussion.

We were talking about belief in God. Chris and I were talking about the utility of it. E and I got into the fact that it's utility doesn't mean that the belief is true. I mentioned Mojo in passing as another example of someone who firmly holds a belief, an entirely different belief, that isn't necessarily true. Earlier we had been talking about the force of belief independent of reality. That's what the discussion was about. It had nothing to do with Mojo being religious.
