Why did the atheist cross not the road?
He thought there might be a sidewalk on the other side, but he wouldn’t believe it until he tested his hypothesis.- I hope, or I could not live. - written by H.G. Wells

Originally posted by Peter View PostBut it should be of interest - that is a very arrogant argument to say that because you believe in nothing, others beliefs and the effect it had on their work is of no interest. What you or I do or don't believe is of no interest, but when it has a direct effect on a creative genius such as Michelangelo or Bach then it is highly relevant.Last edited by Quijote; 11-09-2010, 07:03 PM.
