I have been told many times that I must believe or I will go to hell. The problem is, I don't believe, I cannot just say "from 9:00 am on Monday I will believe" it can't be done. If someone shows me some convincing evidence to make me change my mind that is different, but I can't just "decide to believe"
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
