Take your beliefs seriously. If you believe something, you must accept all consequences; if you don't accept some consequences, you must stop believing. The alternative is hypocrisy, compartmentalization, curiosity-stopping.

Paying money is a decision made based on your beliefs, not the other way around. You are not allowed to change your beliefs based on the decisions your beliefs suggest, only on evidence pertaining to the beliefs themselves.
