Aphorism Of The Day

[Lost Leopard Spot]

To get back on thread... Here is an aphorism:

If you want a bike, don't ask God for one. Steal one, then ask God for forgiveness.

[Hoboh]

Does this fit in?

If one's will does not prevail, one must submit to an alternative.

Yes.
It's short.
It's sharp.
It's pithy.
It's made me think...

Go on, who first said it; and why?

I have a feeling (though I'm a bit unsure) that it may have something to do with mountains and Mohammed. At least the sense is certainly the same.

On what authority do you presume to claim that preposterous statement? Firstly, my views are not based on a total disbelief in god - I don't make the mistake of arguing a priori one way or the other. My views are based on evidence and reason and result in a total (to all intents and purposes) disbelief in god.

If evidence and reason were needed for belief in God they'd open the Vatican as a theme park and make the Popemobile a kiddies ride.

In a quantum universe, probabilities can be very close to certainties, but they never actually reach the status of certainty.
