    “I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”

    What a witty quote. Here's another one.

    "I contend that we are both women. I just have one less penis than you."

    So why do you dismiss all the other possible gods, but not yours?

    See the "A" I have for my avatar? I'll let you guess what that symbolizes.

    The scarlet A and the fact that your name is Nin, I would have guessed it stood for adultress.

    Is your name a homage to Anias Nin, Nine Inch Nails or something else altogether?
    I've been meaning to ask you that for a while.

    Are you sure you want me guessing about something like that?

    Um...
    Australopithecus?
    Areography?
    Arcology?

    It's "R" for retardation, in case you couldn't figure that out.

    ZING

    I actually stole this user name from a friend. I'll ask what he based it off of.

    Richard Dawkins always says something similar. He says that everybody is an atheist in regards to other Gods. You are an atheist in regard to that Gos, or to that other one.
    If you are a Muslin, you are an atheist in regard to the Christian God and so on.

    You are just going one god further.

    awesome quote, but do you mean

    ?

    uuugh:grumble:! we're reading that book right now in English class! chapters 9-12 are due tomorrow, and I just stopped reading on page 7!!! I honestly tried to read farther, but I just couldn't! Its just too boring and hard to understand!!!!

    Although I did like The Lord of The Flies, and did an AWESOME literary analysis on it. One of the best papers I have ever written.

    Ah so it could well be Australopithecus, Areography, or Arcology and you would even know.

    It seems you need that "r" far more than I.

    It might be witty, but it's grammatically incorrect: it should be "...one fewer penises than you..." (They don't come in quantities smaller than one).

    That quote makes me think about this statement/question:

    What makes <insert favorite religion here> anymore believable than any other religion on this planet?

    I'd suggest if you get the chance to have a look at "The Difference Engine" by William Gibson and Bruce Sterling. You'll find some lovely words to add as fuel to a burdening vocabulary.

    it's usually better to want something you don't have than to have something you don't want.

    is this a quotes game?

    oh goody!

    At a dinner party one night, an inebriated Winston Churchill asked the aristocratic lady next to him
    "Madam, would you sleep with me for, say, ten thousand pounds?"
    She paused and responded
    "Well, Sir Winston, I believe I would."
    "How about for ten pounds?"
    The lady was indignant.
    "Sir Winston! What kind of woman do you think I am?"
    To which, Churchill smiled and replied,
    "Madam, we've already established what kind of woman you are. Now we're just haggling over the price!"
