Yes and I am the irreligious christian.=20
"The Ada church is not a church, it is stone-age tribalism" ha ha.

Here is another Dijkstra for you also:

"As you all remember, the first and foremost objective was the development =
of the Elixir that would give the one that drank it Eternal Youth. But sinc=
e there is not much point in eternal poverty, the world of science quickly =
embarked on its second project, viz. the Philosopher's Stone that would ena=
ble you to make as much Gold as you needed.

Needless to say, the planning of these two grandiose research projects went=
 far beyond the predictive powers of the seers of that day and, for sound r=
easons of management, the accurate prediction of the future became the thir=
d hot scientific issue." (EDW898)
