There are lots of people out there who think they know the truth about God and religion, but does anybody really know for sure? That's why the founding fathers built freedom of religious belief into the structure of this nation, so that everybody could make up their minds for themselves. ↗

I have always noticed that deeply and truly religious persons are fond of a joke, and I am suspicious of those who aren't. ↗
