A question for Opti:
Were your parents like this? Stubbornly and intolerably set in their beliefs for no other reason than because they thought they should be?

Yes, my parents were "like this". They were (one still is) Methodist Christians. My dad, formerly, as I convinced him otherwise.
Science is not faith. This man fails, miserably. Science is something completely different from religion. One bases statements on empirical evidence. The other, faith.
Example: faith in gravity. Gravity demonstrates itself in tangible form; thus, a trusting sentiment can be applied to it. God on the other hand -- no.
The point: there are/have been thousands upon thousands (millions most likely) of religions. You can't validate one over another via the means any religion substantiates its truth claim. Religion is ambiguous. All religion. Thus, pointless in my opinion.

/eyeroll. Your obnoxiously persistent. I'd pursue a debate with you, but it doesn't matter what I say; you'd just say "RED HERRING!!!!!?!! Logical fallacy you bitchhole, SCIENCE IS BASED ON REASON AAGH," and proceed to say the exact damn thing I had just refuted >_>. Prickass Atheists >.>, Oh well.
My belief in God is based on evidence.

Atheists are honestly some of the most logically fallacious, condescending, misconceived, foolish, bigoted, close-minded pricks I have ever had the displeasure to meet.

You must not meet too many people.

How's this answer my question.
Don't avoid the question.
Why can you live a happy lie but we can't >:[.

You don't understand either version of the quote ;|.
I believe you are living a happy lie, and you will die to find a sad truth.
You believe I am living a sad lie. I will die to find a happy truth.
Get it? =|
Would you rather have a happy truth or a sad lie?
The division of or sets this question into three parts.
Part 1:
Would you rather
Part 2:
Have a happy truth
Part 3:
Have a sad lie
Part 1 is self explanitory.
Part 2 asks if you would rather have a truth which makes you happy.
Part 3 asks if you would rather have a lie which makes you sad.
Neither of these parts in anyway say live a happy life to find a sad ending or live a sad life to find a happy ending.
I think you're bullshitting things up with this quote.
;D
That is quite possible
