In the narrow confines of this thread, I suppose if your "belief" in
those factual truths leads you to be a more compassionate, generous
person, then they serve as your religion, and more (higher) power to
you!

but some rules benefit those who make the rules... i agree that many do

applies to competition. my sneakers are cheap because of some poor

Satan tells God that it's no big deal to create humans out of dust. "I
could do that," he says. "Okay," God replies, "Go ahead." So Satan
reaches down for a handful of dust. "No, no," says God. "You have to
start with your own dust."
