Mercury69 3 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 i wouldnt take mercury's word for what mercury had for breakfast. One of suited's best posts in a long time. Hahaha...gay bears...perfect.And, JMKiser, you should absolutely take what I post with a grain of salt...or ignore it completely, if you prefer. Thor has some cinematic pedigree I didn't know about: Kenneth Branagh is directing and Nathalie Portman and Anthony Hopkins (Odin!) are in it. That makes it good, right? Well, maybe not, but the Onion AVCLub just gave it a B+.Have a good time and enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I also doubt Camus (an atheist) ever said that. I can't find a source on it.Well, you know the internet....I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn’t, than live my life as if there isn’t, and die to find out there is.This looks looks like yet another variation of Pascal’s Wager. It turns out the actual quote is from Albert Camus. Here’s some more Camus quotes:If there is sin against life, it consists… in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.— Albert CamusI continue to believe that this world has no supernatural meaning . . . But I know that something in the world has meaning – man.— Albert CamusProbably not a person one should quote in one of these ‘inspirational” emails. "Camus' book, Sisyphus, is apparently a mild spin on Pascal's Wager. Link to post Share on other sites
vbnautilus 48 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Well, you know the internet....Camus' book, Sisyphus, is apparently a mild spin on Pascal's Wager.I see plenty of people attributing it to him on the internet, but no one says where it supposedly came from. I've read The Myth Of Sisyphus. It is most certainly not a form of pascal's wager. The book starts with the assumption that there is no god, and deals with how to cope with what camus sees as a meaningless absurd world.... it's been a while but I'm pretty sure he at no point suggests living as if god exists.
