My favorite movie

Just an expression. This is my favorite movie. From 1995 or so. Picture of the Year. Director of the Year for Mel Gibson. This picture made me realize my path. I am still treading it. And will exchange all the days of my life, for that chance - that one chance - when I will be able to shout to our enemies: You can take my life. But you can never take my Coke freedom!

Atheist Quotes

Quote Number 1 (of 101) The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality. - George Bernard Shaw

(from http://atheistblogger.com)


Reactions:

1. It is not a fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic. It can be argued, but may not be proved, even by research. How do you operationalize "happiness" or "happier"?
2. Skepticism is not equal to Atheism.
3. This may have inspired the Matrix Awakening.
4. I cannot argue for atheism on such a bad quote. Moving on. Did not hurt the enemy. At all.
5. The previous sentence of mine is intended to be vague. A clear statement does not hide my soberness.

Burger King > Big Mac, or so it says.
