Atheism – Good Enough for Brad Pitt, Good Enough for Me

I’m not sure if he still carries the “heat” in Hollywood that he used to, but I’m glad he’s on our side.  Reading the vacuous little “entertainment section” on MSN finally paid off, for once:

“Inglorious Basterd” Brad Pitt is going to burn in Hellfire for this one: The demi-god thespian was recently interviewed by German Web site Bild.de, and when the reporter asked if he believed in God, Pitt smiled and replied, “No, no, no!” Uh-oh.

Though, reading further, atheism is technically only 20% good enough for Pitt:

“I’m probably 20 per cent atheist and 80 per cent agnostic,” says Pitt. “I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, and then there’s no point thinking about it.”

Again, we’ll take what we can get.
