[PAUL DUBOIS] STEP 1. Make assertions about the way you expect/would like the world to be. (e.g., a god exists to keep order and tell you do to things). STEP 2. Claim that these assertions are true because you wish to believe them. STEP 3. Applaud such assertions as obviously true, praising the statements and making it seem like believing in them gives one some sort of moral edge. (e.g., doing the tough things that I believe god tells you to do shows character and responsibility) STEP 4. Shake well. STEP 5. Bake at 666 degrees for 1 or 2 millenia, depending on your oven. RESULT: Wishful thinking souffle!! Serves no purpose. -- "Discipline is never an end in itself, only a means to an end." Rich Rosen pyuxd!rlr
