Wait....there's a different kind?!

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

You saw 'Titanic' when you were five? Fuck...that makes me feel old.

I watched Titanic when I was five; only back then it was called 'A Night to Remember'.

I forgot to add that I eventually spent that $500 on a guitar which I played in an anti-theist/feminist/anti-conservative punk band.
