    Where she was saved

    Sarah Palin is very frightening!

    Some thoughts from some other "wise men":

    Properly read, the Bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived. (Issac Asimov)

    Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. (Seneca the Younger 4BC-65AD)

    Do not pray in my school, and I will not think in your church. (Unknown)

    Men never commit evil so fully and joyfully as when they do it for religious convictions. (Blaise Pascal)

    There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages. (Richard Lederer)

    You can not convince a believer of anything; for their belief is not based on evidence, it is based on a deep-seated need to believe. (Carl Sagan)

    Religion does three things quite effectively: Divides people, Controls people, Deludes people. (Alice McKinney)

    Those who believe absurdities will commit absurdities. (Voltaire)

    I have examined all the known superstitions of the world, and I do not find in our particular superstition of Christianity one redeeming feature. They are all alike founded on fables and mythology. (Thomas Jefferson)

    AMERICA WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!

    It is time to "take back" our country from these "Corporate Loving Religious Fanatics"!
