Religion is also unscientific. In fact it is even more unscientific than atheism. Why DO you hate your god, Ozzy?

That I seem unhappy to you says more about you than me.

All worries? Do you ever go outside, or are you confined to some hospital ward?

I would rather a person show a lack of understanding about economics (although more than half the country got along without slavery), than about the immorality of slavery and related economic concepts such as corvee labor and sharecropping.

I don't see Harry as seeming unhappy at all. His happiness is simply not founded on a myth, as is yours.

No. It means that Jeff's 'expert' knows sod-all about atheism.
