    Yes however you are so "text book" you can't look beyond the actual words for the true meaning.

    This quote is from Richard Dawkings google em'
    Her eyes,
    They burned like wild fire,
    She had came.
    Came to take her desires,
    By force,
    Or...,
    At least she's a damn good liar.

    I'll attempt to put it into reasonable terms O.O''

    It's become overly said to say that nobody brags about not knowing of English n stuff, but it is ok to brag of not knowing of science and be proud of incompetence in math

    LOLWUT???

    It's a cliche to know literature?
    But it's okay to reject truth socially?
    /fail.

    Know your limits. If you wish to speak above others and to be held in high regard forever among legends, you must pause the game and have an infinite power source. You are only as grand as the memory you leave them with. Practice does not make perfect. Practicing perfection does. Once the mountain has been climbed, there are few steps towards the cliff. Remember to enjoy the view because once you've reached the top, there's nowhere to go but down.

    Seems like he's trying to say that despite proof through science and mathematics, people still try defend their religious literature, and find it comforting to know that others feel the same - Probably not meaning the actual "literature" but the peoples' beliefs.

    "The people are ignorant and stubborn", sums it up :\

    Sigh.

    The fact is, that is how I would understand the quote. I'm not very big on religion, nor do I care if someone believes in the commonly taught science..
    It's been proven.
    That's why it's science. (Def:: The state of knowing. You wouldn't know it if it couldn't be proven.)

    It's the same as saying 'WRONG!' to someone's opinion on a.. On a quote, for example... -glare-
    If it can't be proven, how is it wrong?

    "God may be omnipotent, he may be all knowing, he may be all power, and maybe even vindictive; but, if I know anything of God, he still is kissing the fattest part of my @$$ every day of the week."- †wis†

    No, I am not saying your wrong by the actual meaning based on the words.

    Richard Dawkings is a scientist, British I believe, and this quote mean that people don't really care if your wrong about religion but people strongly care if your wrong about science or math. In short terms.
    Her eyes,
    They burned like wild fire,
    She had came.
    Came to take her desires,
    By force,
    Or...,
    At least she's a damn good liar.

    The funny part is, literature is more connected to mathematics then to religion.

    Read my above post again, I edited it.

    Debating against opinions.. I give up on this topic t-t.

    Literature in the quote is referring to religious writings.
