"Experts in ancient Greek culture say that people back then didn't see their thoughts as belonging to them. When ancient Greeks had a thought, it occurred to them as a god or goddess giving an order. Apollo was telling them to be brave. Athena was telling them to fall in love. <br />Now people hear a commercial for sour cream potato chips and rush out to buy, but now they call this free will. <br />At least the ancient Greeks were being honest." <br /> <br /> <br />~Chuck Palahniuk~ <br /> <br /> <br /> "Even when the experts all agree, they may well be mistaken." <br /> <br />~Bertrand Russell~ <br /> <br /> <br />"In much of the West, the well educated have been taught to believe that they can know nothing and that they can draw no independent conclusions about truth, unless they cite a study and "experts" have affirmed it. "Studies show" is to the modern secular college graduate what "Scripture says" is to the religious fundamentalist." <br /> surfun <br /> <br /> ~Dennis Prager~
