By the way, what do you think of this oft-quoted logic?
Quote linked to by Phat:
"I'd rather live my life as if there is a God and die and find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is."
The faulty logic here is basically assuming that "living as if God doesn't exist" is a bad and evil thing. I live my life as a human which means I have empathy for my fellow humans and try to help out the less fortunate to the best of my abilities and to enjoy my existence without harming others, you know, the golden rule. Believing in God would only mean that I would be following the tenets of my faith, whatever that may be. The quote is also biased toward monotheism, which is a slap in the face to any polytheistic religious followers. It's a quote of a small minded person.
In short, the quote is insulting.
