What could possibly go wrong with that?

There's been a lot of evil in modern world history that had nothing to do with the notion of an immortal soul...the regimes of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot...where many millions were killed during each regime, and 2 World Wars...where many millions were killed during each war. None of it had anything to do with the notion of an immortal soul.

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
