Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway,
And fools, who came to scoff, remained to pray.
--
Line 179.Oliver Goldsmith

So I was watching all the Katrina coverage and I got really angry at... Christians who didn't pray hard enough... It's their f**king fault. First off, they needed to pray against the people that were praying for Katrina to hit, because New Orleans is a den of sin and iniquity; an area where gay people dance! But now they have to pray double, and if they had just put that little effort up front, we could've avoided all of this. I think it's time we take a lesson from history, and return to human sacrifice.
David Cross
"My car has a new fortress. It will scoff at the hurricanes this year. Scoff like unto a scoffing machine."
Brian Clevinger
As men's habits of mind differ, so that some more readily embrace one form of faith, some another, for what moves one to pray may move another to scoff, I conclude ... that everyone should be free to choose for himself the foundations of his creed, and that faith should be judged only by its fruits; each would then obey God freely with his whole heart, while nothing would be publicly honoured save justice and charity.
Baruch Spinoza
The hands that help are holier than the lips that pray.
Robert G. Ingersoll
There are three kinds of fools in this world, fools proper, educated fools and rich fools. The world persists because of the folly of these fools.
