Since Daria and Jane like to joke about aliens, I thought I'd post this quotation, which was emailed to me by a friend recently.
When I wrote back to thank her, I started with "Dear Daria" and had to correct it. Her name's Darlene.
Anyway, here's the quote:

Guess ol' Jerry must've forgotten that God gave human beings an imagination, along with everything else, and that if God created the Heavens and the Earth, he would've created all those other life forms, too. But then, only a person of Falwell's ilk would be so arrogant as to assume that human beings are the only worthwhile creatures in the universe. Of course, it's 18 years later and this guy is still a grade-A schmuck, so it's not like I'm holding out hope for his sorry ass or anything. :-)

No offense meant to anyone, but this is a perfect example in support of my belief that religious fanaticism is like sniffing gasoline. Both cause brain damage. ;-D

I'm glad you enjoyed the quote, Obsidian. Six weeks after I first posted it, I still laugh every time I read it.

See James Blish's novel "A Question of Conscience". Cosmonaut Catholic priests discover a planet on which there is intelligent life but it has no religion. They blow it up.

Shows the depths of Blish's prejudice, I suppose. It reminds me of that roleplay site where the webmaster *eventually* changed one of the scenarios in which he'd had a Catholic cardinal condemning Harry Potter books and calling for a burning spree -- loads of users had pointed out that the Vatican had gone to the trouble of issuing a statement disassociating the Catholic church from the "Harry Potter books are evil" axis.
