David G. McAfee Quotes
If there is a Creator-God, it has used methods of creation that are indistinguishable from nature, it has declined to make itself known for all of recorded history, it doesn't intervene in affairs on earth, and has made itself impossible to observe. Even if you believe in that God... why would you think it would want to be worshiped?

I think the reason for my fascination with craft is what it represents, what it means in our culture, what it means in our history and in humanity.

My favorite actors from history have to be Steve McQueen and James Dean.
