It's true:

"good" atheists. Often they turned out to have been raised by a C_____ians.

Funny you can't bring yourself to write the horrid word.

But it's no guarantee. Stalin had Christian parents but when he turned atheist he became a monster.

One of my favourite people has moved away. In reading the NYT report I came across this quote from his youthful journal:

“I will not be a common man. I will stir the smooth sands of monotony. I do not crave security. I wish to hazard my soul to opportunity.”

What an amazing statement. This is the way great business people (and great gamblers) think! And for exceptional humans like Peter, life itself was a great gamble... to be wrestled with and embraced to the death.
