It's not because a saying is old, that it is therefore Chinese!
(old Chinese saying)
"Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!" (Michael Palin in Monty Python's Flying Circus, Season 2, Episode 2)
"Je préfère le vin d'ici à l'eau de là" (Francis Blanche)
"Nu zijn er wel die mij niet mogen, of onverschillig langs mij gaan. Met liefde en met mededogen zie ik die vuile schoften aan! (Drs. P in "Jubelzang")
"Tuez-les tous, Dieu reconnaîtra les siens." (phrase attribuée à Arnaud Amaury, légat du Pape, à l'occasion de la prise de Béziers en 1209)

D'Anna Biers wrote:There's no such thing as coincidence. God wills the universe according to His design.


Gaius Baltar wrote:I'm a scientist. And as a scientist, I believe if God exists our knowledge of him is imperfect. Why? Because the stories and myths we have are the products of men, the passage of time. The religion you practise is based on a theory, impossible to prove, yet you bestow it with absolutes like 'there is no such thing as coincidence'.


D'Anna Biers wrote:It's called faith.


Gaius Baltar wrote:But the truth is, if we knew God's will, we'd all be gods, wouldn't we? .

Welcome Literate Bikers

I believe it's time for mankind to set aside the crutch of religion and embrace morality born of reason and truth. Those crutches have long since proven treacherous when the ground gets slippery.
