Do you believe in God, Andrei?

No.

Neither do I. But that's a favorite question of mine. An upside-down question, you know.

What do you mean?

Well, if I asked people whether they believed in life, they'd never understand what I meant. It's a bad question. It can mean so much that it really means nothing. So I ask them if they believe in God. And if they say they do -- then, I know they don't believe in life.

Why?

Because, you see, God -- whatever anyone chooses to call God -- is one's highest conception of the highest possible. And whoever places his highest conception above his own possibility thinks very little of himself and his life. It's a rare gift, you know, to feel reverence for your own life and to want the best, the greatest, the highest possible, here, now, for your very own.

What does that have to do with the price of eggs?

I'm sorry but I have learned not to bother clicking on links you supply. Once bitten I suppose.
