In the name of God...

(I hope it's not a sin to steal from The Writer's Almanac. This from 6/19:)

"It's the birthday of mathematician and mystic Blaise Pascal, born in Clermont, France (1623). He wrote a lot about religion, and attempted to convert skeptics to Christianity. But he also said, 'Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.'"
