words to live by

From Funny Times, attributed to A. Whitney Brown –

"The Baptists believe in the Right to Life before you're born.  They also believe in Life After Death, but that is a privilege and you have to earn it by spending the interim in guilt-ridden misery.  At an early age, I decided that living a life in pious misery in the hope of going to heaven when it's over is a lot like keeping your eyes shut all through a movie in the hope of getting your money back at the end."
