But really, having to choose between the chicken and the seafood--thank goodness there are alternate days!

At least according to the <BR/><A HREF="http://wiki.monticello.org/mediawiki/index.php/The_Christian_god_is_a_three_headed_monster" REL="nofollow">Monticello website.</A><BR/><BR/>The other quotes that they list as similar, however, have some good tidbits: "...Man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder is the sport of every wind.
