Quote of the Day 1-19-09

Who Cares about the Present, We have the Future!
Byhenry November 20, 2007
A few years ago I was discussing the behavior of a televangelist (who and the particular behavior is unimportant), when she said, “You know, if I believed in God, I’d be afraid to do that.” Now there are certain assumptions in that statement.
