This always reminds me of atheism:
The queen, my lord, is dead.
MACBETH
She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/13...-believing-god"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

After School Satan club holds Utah open house at Vista Elementary
The After School Satan club has arrived at a Utah elementary school.
The Satanic Temple, a group that describes itself as “an atheistic religious organization that uses the symbol of Satan to inspire civil justice”, said the decision to spread their message in elementary schools is in direct response to Christian groups who operate after-school clubs in public schools.
The organization kicked off an open house Wednesday, according to the Salt Lake Tribune. The Tribune, media partner of KUTV, also spoke to Chalice Blythe, the chapter head in Utah of The Satanic Temple. The Tribune was denied access to the open house by the Granite School District.
"We are nontheistic, we don't actually worship a literal Satan," Blythe said. "We're very aware that not everyone is going to understand what it's about. They'll see the word 'Satan' and just make assumptions."Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

Well, yeah. That's what you want them to do. That way they'll realize the only way to keep Satan out of schools is to keep God out. I love these guys.

*edit. Favorite line: "We see Satan as the symbolic embodiment of the ultimate rebel against tyranny."
