Default Re: Why do I read fortune cookies?

[ QUOTE ]
I am a strong atheist though not a very vocal one. I don’t believe in destiny and I know that astrology is a big sham. I won’t read my horoscope even if I come across it somewhere. But I’ll always read my fortune cookie at a Chinese restaurant. I was just thinking about it today. I don’t believe it’s going to come true, so why do I bother reading that scrap of paper?

what does religion even have to do with it. They so rarely even actually have a 'fortune.' They should be renamed "advice cookies" or "pithy non-predictive sayings cookies."

My favorite part (and the only part that is actually predictive) is the Lucky Lottery Numbers. The funny part is 200 people may eat a restaurant and all get different numbers. Not sure how all 200 lottery numbers can all be lucky at the same time.
