From "History Gone MAD" (can you believe this is sitting on my desk!??)
1900 B.C. -- After countless years, crude Semitic writing is developed by the Phoenicians. (It will take the world a lot less time to develop even cruder anti-Semitic writing)
249 -- In Rome, the practice begins of throwing Christians to the lions. And it takes very little practice for the Romans to get pretty good at it.
432 -- St. Patrick introduces Christianity to Ireland, therby giving the natives something interesting to fight about for the rest of their recorded history.

The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knofe they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corckscrews. Bottle openers. 'Come on Buddy; let's go. You get past me the guy in back of me's got a spoon. Back off. I've got the toe clippers right here.

Why is it that when we talk to God we're praying, but when God talks to us we're schizophrenic?
