 If there is no hell, a good many preachers are obtaining money under false pretenses.

 We gave them a lot of money under false pretenses. It's going to remain an issue until they give that money back.

 Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.
  Blaise Pascal

  Henry Miller

 The use of false pretenses to retrieve confidential customer account information not only victimizes those consumers whose privacy is violated, but also compromises the security of financial institutions that strive to increase customer convenience by making such information more easily accessible,

 False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing.
  Joseph Marie de Maistre
