Happy Ostriches

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one.

George Bernard Shaw said that. If you are a religious person and you are happy, well… good for you. But you have traded reality for happiness and peace, which makes you like an ostrich.
