It convinced me totally that God (if there is one) doesn't mix in earthly human affairs never has and never will. Doesn't hurt to cover your bases tho, may come in handy in the hereafter (if there is one).

Ah, Tom, if I could convince you that He lives and that man could change if we want to. Covering bases is similar to fire insurance. Believe and you don't need to worry about paying the premium.

Agreed, except for the base coverage. My time and energy is too precious to waste on things like that.
