  I was just pondering how the WTS has, for over a century, been able to convince people to do what is contrary to their best interests with fear tactics that Armageddon™ is Coming Soon™, and I came up with what is going to be my pet phrase for a while:

  "Only religion has the power to compel people to embrace sheer stupidity in the name of faith." ~ Scully, December 28, 2006

  I Googled it, and didn't see that anyone else has claimed it, so until someone else finds an attribution for it, I'm claiming it as my own.

  Do you have your own favorite sayings? Ones that you've coined yourself, or others that you think are words to live by?

  There are two kinds of people in the world—those who walk into a room and say, “Well, here I am!” and those who walk into a room and say, “Ah, there you are!”

  What I say, and haven't yet found on Google. Generally, it's been said by many.

  The belief in myths is unnecessary in order to have moral standards.

  Wendy reminded me of one of my favorites.

  "There are 2 types of people in the world. Those who get hung..................... and those who do the hanging"
