I'm not sure what you would have to sing to convince Falwell he couldn't have your soul. It was a pretty vivid dream - I actually started talking and Matt woke up and asked me if I was Ok.<BR/><BR/>On a separate note, who serves better Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245359960166359487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-7359629233365765112008-03-10T19:31:00.000-04:002008-03-10T19:31:00.000-04:00Falwell did.Actually it was more of a comment on t...Falwell did.<BR/><BR/>Actually it was more of a comment on that self-promoting form of religion that he embodies.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768654376657640904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061577.post-32925785418808613592008-03-10T11:51:00.000-04:002008-03-10T11:51:00.000-04:00So, Jacob: was it you or Falwell that trademarked ...So, Jacob: was it you or Falwell that trademarked the phrase? I'm not sure which would scare me more -- a major evangelical leader/nut-job or some random school teacher from South Georgia staking claim to that.<BR/><BR/>On the subject of faith vs. agnosticism, you should read "Pascal's Wager," a biography of Blaise Pascal.
