Poor Richard’s Almanack is hardly the object of devotion despite these obviously incisive quotes: > > “Fish and Visitors stink after three days.” > “Fine linnen, girls and gold so bright, chuse not to take by candle light” > “Industry, Perseverance, & Frugality, make Fortune yield.” Wasn’t presenting it as evidence of divinity. I just wanted to see if an atheist could just for once, one time agree with a Christian or admit that the Bible is true about something. Then perhaps, I could take your argument seriously. The reality is atheists have devoted a lot of time and energy to attack Christianity with an uncanny zeal. Why is that? Now if I subscribed to the atheist way of thinking, I would be out there trying to squeeze every drop of enjoyment from this life since you can simply cease to exist at any second. Poof, you’re gone. Doesn’t make a bit of difference what you do in this lifetime. I certainly wouldn’t be wasting time on a debate forum. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/creationist-attempts-to-prove-the-existence-of-god-denial-of-evolution-merged-threads/611889)._
