Re: OFF TOPIC - The IOC sucks.

second, regarding the recently Ex-McVeigh, or the former-McVeigh as you may prefer; I heard quoted on NPR his views on religion. went something like this:
NPR news man: While Timmothy McVeigh officialy claims to be an athiest, he was quoted thursday (this being the friday before his execution) responding to a question regarding his belief in the afterlife with these words, "If it turns out that I am wrong and there is an afterlife, I am prepared to improvise, adapt, and overcome."
I thought any leathernecks we have in the crowd would get a kick out of that one. even more so since it came from a (former) army man.
while my random comments might not have much to do with the hot topics at hand, hopefully we can all take a short laugh at.. well.. i guess the people who are bent about all the barbarism in The States would not really get much of a laugh out of that, huh?
Well it does point out on thing. It doesn't matter if you are religious or not. In the end the way it is is the way it is. No personal belief will change that. One thing is sure, we will all eventually find out who was right, not that it will matter then.
