I win!

I've won the March 2003 Atheist Quote of the Month in a landslide! My quote:

4) I was willing to give my life to defend the ideals enshrined in the
Constitution of the United States. In fact as a soldier in the
mid-eighties I expected to die if the balloon went up in Europe.

I wasn't going to get anything but a soldier's grave, and perhaps a
paragraph in my hometown paper. Nobody would venerate my name, and my
death would have been just another day's work for Graves Registration.

Yet I did it. With no promise of eternal godhood. I did it because I
believed in freedom.

Jesus, if he existed, was inconvenienced for a weekend and became God.
His sacrifice is non-existant compared to the one made by every soldier
who ever died nameless on some forgotten battlefield.

Baseball predictions

Looking over the NL West, I have to say it will be the Los Angeles Dodgers taking it this year.

The depth of their rotation, and the power they added in the off-season means that while they may not score many runs, they will keep their opponents from scoring any. 1-0 is still a win.
