Are we really saying that how a belief makes you feel somehow justifies it as good or true? That's ridiculous. Beliefs are our intentions to model the real world. We act in accordance with our beliefs because we hope this will accurately accomplish whatever we are trying to do.
It doesn't matter how a belief makes you feel, if that believe is not based on evidence.
Delusions can make you feel good as well, but they also allow people to be dangerous.
We should be judging beliefs on whether or not they are true, regardless of how good or bad they make us feel.
