‘No,’ Says God
Pascal’s Wager
Hey Marco, I can’t tell if you’re quoting Scott Adams to say ‘I told you so’ or to share your reasons for believing in god. If it’s the former, ignore this post and move on.

Hindu prayer in the Senate draws protesters →
I was unaware of this, but a prayer is said before each senate hearing and is usually recited by a Christian chaplain. Forgetting that it’s a questionable tangling of church and state, our freedom of religion stands that the prayer could be held by people of any faith.
