Thursday = Thor's day | Derek Sivers: "Last week we had dinner at a quiet restaurant on the Oregon coast, and sat near two people that were obviously on a first date. (“So, do you have any siblings?”)
When their conversation took an interesting turn, we couldn't help but listen:
“You're an atheist? How can you not believe in God?”
� “How can you not believe in Zeus or Thor?”
“That's stupid. Those are old folk-tales.”
� “They were God! You're dismissing others' beliefs, calling them folk-tales? So you're also an atheist for most gods that have ever existed. I just go one further.”
“I'm not an atheist!”
� “You and I are almost identical in our beliefs! If history has named, say, 520 gods, you don't believe in 519 of them, I don't believe in 520 of them.”"
