- But Scott -- "reality checks" are just what Religion was created
- to help people *AVOID* *PAYING*! ;-)

- Think about it -- all the time, the money, the *LIVES* that have
- been utterly and completely *WASTED* because humanity can't
- accept the simple fact that we're born, we live and WE *DIE*.
-
- While some of the "faithful" are capable of it, I don't think
- that many people in any Xtian/Jewish/Islam type religion's
- heirarchy is capable of cashing a reality check.

- () `insufficient funds'
