Belief is pointless. It neither validates ideas that cannot withstand
scrutiny, nor improves those that can.

What's wrong with an A+ in "Biblical Chemistry" or "AstroGodonomy"? Of
couse, the answer to ever test question is "God did it", so some might

And I have no doubt that every new example will succeed, as every past one
has done, in shewing that religion & Govt will both exist in greater
purity, the less they are mixed together.

Someone should alert the EAP press: I believe a state legislator in Kansas has
submitted a bill in the state House to ban the teaching of facts as a
violation of Christians' First Amendment right to religion.

I heard that a San Francisco city councilman has proposed lobotomizing
Christians
to turn them into atheists.
After all, he says, it certainly doesn't take a brain to "lack belief".
