We prefer Shakespearean Sonnets, reflections on Space and Time, and posts along the lines of:

God is subtle but he is not malicious. --Albert Einstein

Founding Fathers Quotes Far from being rivals or enemies, religion and law are twin sisters, friends, and mutual assistants. Indeed, these two sciences run into each other. The divine law, as discovered by reason and the moral sense, forms an essential part of both. James Wilson

It is our continuing goal to foster the world's greatest converstation.

My gaze on Beatrice, hers on Heaven, In less time than an arrow strikes the mark, Flies through the air, loosed from its catch, I found myself in some place where a wondrous thing. Absorbed all of my mind, and then my lady, From whom I could not keep my thirst to know, turned toward me as joyful as her beauty: Direct your mind and gratitude, she said, To God, who raised us up to His first star. -Dante, The Divine Comedy: Paradise

Best Regards,

William Einstein Shakespeare :)
