Best quote ever ^-^
He did not believe in the gods.
I wish people could understand the meaning. :)

I'm probably among those who don't really understand it.

John 8:44

You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks [a]a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of [b]lies.

Jesus and Socrates both had the same thought, so it's easy to understand. :)
