“When religion ceases to be speculative and becomes factual and "true", it will become science. Science can be used to prove or disprove opinions, beliefs and accusations. Until any religion crosses that line, who is anyone to use their religion to judge others?”
Christina Engela, Demonspawn

Alan             Moore
“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? - Who watches the watchmen?”
