For all you fans of Interesting Today - I'm sorry to say that this will be the last edition, for now. Not sure if, or when, I will be back to it. Doing this has been a fun part of my day, but couple of other projects require my attention. The many hours that I spend on here would give me that much needed time for those projects. So enjoy this last one and who knows, I might be back! :)

I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian God may exist; so may the Gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them.” Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), What I Believe, 1925

A. Someone who stays up all night mentally torturing himself over the question of whether or not there's a dog.  

"I think we should start calling Rick Perry, Sam Brownback, Michelle Bachman and others of their ilk just what they are - Christianists. They are of the same mentality and the same agenda as Islamists - domination of the world by their ideology. Whenever you write or refer to one of these guys refer to them as "Christianist Rick Perry who espouses the political doctrine of Christianism." Lets call a skunk and skunk" - Darrel Ray
