Especially since you have to rationalise it away as working on similar principles to iphones. Writing letters to Santa and putting them up the chimney has the same effect - placating the innocent and the credulous with platitudes of influence.

Quote: Atlas, sometimes your posts are filled with wonderful and thought-provoking insights into a culture I most likely will never experience.

My people never represent their religion probably to outsiders, that's why people think we are butchers and maniacs. But nobody recites these parts about peace, all you see is the parts about war and penalties; without context too. We might disagree, but eventually it's our freedom to choose and that's the most important thing. I'm not an idiot, but I'm telling about what I believe.
Thank you for your nice words; Stimbo.
