Progress is made by lazy men looking for easier ways to do things. - Robert A. Heinlein

No matter what I said they insisted on thinking of God as something outside themselves. Something that yearns to take every indolent moron to His breast and comfort him. The notion that the effort has to be their own . . . and that the trouble they are in is all their own doing . . . is one that they can't or won't entertain.

Men rarely if ever dream up a god superior to themselves. Most gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.

My old man says when it's time to be counted, the important thing is to be man enough to stand up.
