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.
