Or, to look at it another way, everybody gets eternal life by default. The used god salesmen just make a business of taking credit for it.

I don't know what form life after death may take. Might be that our dead relatives really are dropping in from time to time and, no doubt, laughing their spectral asses off. Or it may be that all we get is whatever of us those people who knew us keep alive in memory. Grandma's corn fritters will live on for at least another generation.

But I do know one thing; nothing is ever created or destroyed; not matter nor energy.

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

Hey, BTW, looks like the Pinelas County Courts just made Sembler a respondent.

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid
of the dark. The real tragedy of life is
when men are afraid of the light.
