Conversation Starters
Many of you will be cornered by a seemingly endless mass of relatives soon. If the meaningless banter around the dinner table really starts bugging you, please feel free to introduce one of these quotes into the mix. It's a sure fire way to alienate people you only see once a year!
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." Seneca the Younger 4 b.c.- 65 a.d.
"When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me." Emo Phillips
"Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned." Unknown
and the best of em all

Oscar was an amazing musician.
Never forgotten right?
