I suppose for me it's the Pascal wager; having everything to gain and nothing to lose and vice versa (not that i adhere to the religion that he did). But if 90% can be observed, and 10% requires a leap of faith, i suppose that's a gamble i'm willing to take

@MachiavellianSpirit What 90% are you talking about?

Well depending on whatever religion or belief you ascribe to, there are certain claims it has which might be observable and others which aren't. Those that are observable are easy to believe in but the leap of faith would be to believe in the higher being that caused x,y,z to occur.
