The Wisdom of Carl
Now it’s no good to have such rights if they’re not used—a right of free speech when no one contradicts the government, freedom of the press when no one is willing to ask the tough questions, a right of assembly when there are no protests, universal suffrage when less than half the electorate votes, separation of church and state when the wall of separation is not regularly repaired. Rights and freedoms: use ’em or lose ’em.
Carl Sagan, The Demon Haunted World (1996)

Give or take a few, it’s been 23756 months since the first coming of Christ ended. The Rapture can’t be long now… Can it?
Before you go, think about this…
Men dare not avow, even to their own hearts the doubts which they entertain on such subjects. They make a merit of implicit faith, and disguise to themselves their real infidelity by the strongest asseverations and the most positive bigotry.
