"In the evening we reached a comfortable farm-house, where there were several very pretty senoritas. They were much horrified at my having entered one of their churches out of mere curiosity. They asked me, 'Why do you not become a Christian - for our religion is certain?' I assured them I was a sort of a Chistain; but they would not hear of it." Charles Darwin, Voyage of the Beagle
Darwin is in Santiago, Chile and meets some true believers. I wonder, as I often do, what makes them so confident.
Speaking of, the other day in the Y, I overheard a geezer sending people to hell for "making fun of God." Such compassion would make Jesus proud.
