81. Stumbled upon the Skeptic Friends Network and was instantly converted.
I would rather face a cold reality than delude myself with comforting fantasies.

You are free to believe what you want to believe and I am free to ridicule you for it.

The result of an unbiased and rational search for the truth.

82. I used to be friends with Uri, but then he stopped calling.
Why continue? Because we must. Because we have the call. Because it is nobler to fight for rationality without winning than to give up in the face of continued defeats. Because whatever true progress humanity makes is through the rationality of the occasional individual and because any one individual we may win for the cause may do more for humanity than a hundred thousand who hug their superstitions to their breast.

To steal one from astropin:

84. I made a bet with God that Free Will wasn't such a good idea. I won.

87. Cause my feng don't shui!
The foundation of morality is to . . . give up pretending to believe that for which there is no evidence, and repeating unintelligible propositions about things beyond the possibliities of knowledge.

Yes, I remember it....

And he was dressed in a very strange way,
With a great, big hat and a big, black grip,
And draggin' on a chain was a big, black ball!" -- Lonny Donagan.

Who wouldn't be a skeptic after meeting that a couple of verses down the song ....

89. The pope excommunicated me when I told him my top ten reasons for being Catholic.
90. Reality's been good to me.
91. As it turned out, Mt. Rushmore wasn't really for sale.
92. I had a choice, become a skeptic or play the tambourine. I really, really hate the tambourine.
93. George Bush isn't.
94. I always root for the underdog.
95. Sheer bloodymindedness.
96. Spells to cast, curses to break, god's to appease, vampires to stake. I just needed a little me time.
97. Science is on a hot streak.
98. I was indoctrinated at an early age.
99. I'm in it for the glory. (A man can dream can't he?)
