You've heard it said that it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere. Welllll...I'm not so sure about that. Consider, if you will, the example of Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. He believed he could accurately guess the weight of a golden idol to within a handful of sand's tolerance. We all know how that turned out.
He believed he could trust his assistant to throw him the whip after having received the idol.
And yet..."Adios, amigo."
He believed he could jump across a gaping pit...
...to no avail. In the worst bit of acting you'll ever see from Harrison Ford, he telegraphs his delight at being able to grasp a vine that he believes will save him.
But alas...
He manages to climb onto the ledge and believes he's home free until he gets chased by a huge, perfectly spherical boulder.
He jumps clear of the danger and believes he can pick himself up, dust himself off, and take the relic to its rightful place in a museum.
"Doctor Jones, again we see there is nothing you can possess which I cannot take away."
