Reasonably Certain.

I'm reasonably certain the Sun will rise tomorrow. I'm reasonably certain Scarlett Johansson is female. I'm reasonably certain the Bible and the Qur'an are just books.

I watched the sixth sense just to watch this video.  I don't regret it.

I believe Mr. Hellenes is a honest and smart person.

I can't be sure, but I am reasonably certain.

@DannKast Way more than that, it's just that only 32 of them decided to be dicks about it. :P

Thirty two people hadn't watched The Sixth Sense before watching this video.

Funny thing was that I for some reason interpreted the trailer as the main character being dead so me and my friend were talking about whether he was dead or not the whole movie. To me the trailer completely destroyed the movie.

@Rawlsrocks no but he did say he made one assumption from this evidence, and personally i took it that the reasonable assumption made by young atheists is that religions are false BECAUSE people seem much too certain. so its the initial assumption that allows us to then deduce the false nature of claims about any god. we don't just stop checking however. the reason a lot of atheists are quite active is that most of us, i think, still want more information, just to be sure.

One flaw in your story:

You claim that it was your different way of watching the movie that allowed you to see the deception. But fact is that you had one crucial piece of info before watching it: You knew that there would be an important plot twist (aka deception) at the end of the movie. So all you did was to combine this info with the subject of the movie (I see dead people) and with what happens to Willis early on.

But in religions you don't have knowledge of such a plot twist in the end!

I plan on watching this with my Girlfriend, who just so happens to be an 'orthidox' christian.
