Laurel, one of my favorite quotes, and one well worth repeating. Thanks.

Comment by Laurel Avery on December 12, 2012 at 4:39am -
John, perhaps you meant this quote?
"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?"
- Epicurus

I never heard that quote before, but it's pleasing to the eyes. I need my Christian family to read this.

I was looking for the wrong person for the quote. The following is the one I was think of. Sorry for the confusion.
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
-- Marcus Aurelius

John Lynch, is this the one to which you refer?
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Have any more details for us? It's hard to do a Google search based upon just Seneca and something to do with belief in gods.

The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
