I can see the Sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate.

...But in the Bullshit Department, the businessman can't hold a candle
to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell ya the truth, folks, when it comes
to Bullshit, big time, major league BULLSHIT, you have to stand in awe, in awe, of the
all time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: RELIGION! .... No contest, no contest!!<BR /><DIV>

Life is sacred? Who said so, God? Hey, if you read history you'll
realize that God is one of the leading causes of death...has been for thousands of years. Hindus,
Muslims, Christians, Jews, all taking turns killing each other because
God told them it was a good idea.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://edkrebs.com/herb/">
Instead of school busing and prayer in schools, which are both
controversial, why not a joint solution? Prayer in buses. Just drive these kids around
all day and let them pray their fuckn' empty little heads off.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://edkrebs.com/herb/">
