"It is incredible that only idiots are absolutely sure of salvation. It is incredible that the more brain you have the less your chance is. There can be no danger in honest thought, and if the world ever advances beyond what it is to-day, it must be led by men who express their real opinions."
by:
Robert G. Ingersoll
(1833-1899) American lawyer, Civil War veteran, political leader, orator of United States during the Golden Age of Free Thought, nicknamed "The Great Agnostic"

True for theocracies of all shapes, religious and secular. History proves that 'The Promise' is the tool of the ruling class -- the 'currency' of the world is now 'promises,' and we are expected to treat them as good as gold! ;-)

    Yes, there is little or no distinction between those seeking salvation and those who shop in the center isles.
     -- Robert, Somewhere in the US

    It is incredible that so many have no spiritual inkling towards salvation.
