How wonderful would it be if everything was part of some divine grand plan?

The truth is sometimes bad. Intellectual fulfillment is not emotional fulfillment, where theism has a clear advantage, but truth is truth JCC. Sh!t happens. Atheism provides nothing but truth.

But alas, I am condemned to take life seriously, look on the bright sides, and try to make lemonade out of lemons. I guess that’s reality for ya.

You betcha! But try a Margarita instead :)

It doesn't make it any less true.

It can really be scary that there is no one “up there” capable of protecting me and mine. It doesn’t make it any less true.

“We, in Ireland , can’t figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.

On one side, you have a witch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, running against a lawyer who is married to a witch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a war hero married to a good looking rich woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What are you lads thinking over
there?”
