"What one can accomplish through the belief in a "god" is a testament to the power of the mind, and not necessarily a testament to the power of "god".

The only thing that saves us from the Leftists is the fact that they adopted Environmentalism as a stepping-stool to power. Now they cannot make up their minds whether they want us molded, bar-coded, and set to droning along in a socialist hive-- or whether they want us running around the forest, gnawing on raw roots and sleeping naked in the trees.
