"The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. ... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" --Patrick Henry (1736-1799)
Normally I keep my beliefs to myself regarding God and theology, and could give a rat's patootie about sharing them with others--but these are not normal times, and I feel that scratching the surface of divinity a bit may be in order.
