[QUOTE=Burton13;1773676] Since Buddha isn't too popular around here, I'll just go with a Jefferson quote that pretty much says the same thing...

"Question with boldness even the existence of a god, because if there be one He must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear. "


"God who gave us life, gave us liberty. And can the liberities of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis; a conviction in the minds of men that these liberities are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever." - Thomas Jefferson
