Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Henry Ford, Carnegie, Phil Knight, Steve Fosset...

The founders - Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, Washington - the world owes them a debt of gratitude.

Ernest Shackleton, Pat Tillman, Chuck Darwin, (politics aside)Barack Obama, Samuel Clemens, Einstein, Micheal Jordan, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Emerson, Jon Stuart, Ron Paul, MacGyver, Elon Musk, Hugh Hefner, Tiger Woods, Feynman, Socrates, Lewis & Clark, my mother. (don't mind the order)

Funny, I think all of these people, except my mother, are athiest/agnostic, goes to show you...




> Funny, I think all of these people are athiest/agnostic, goes to show you...

Why do you think that? Dylan famously converted to Christianity, BHO is a long time churchgoer, and Ron Paul is supposedly a creationist Christian. I don't really know about the others (obviously Einstein had a lot to say about god and dice and so on, but that hardly makes him a believer...)


Oh yes, overlooked Ron Paul, Obama too, as religious people. Jury is out on Einstein, hes has made comments both ways. I'm probably wrong about a few others too.

And for some reason I wrote Steve Fossett when I meant Richard Branson.

Long day. Thanks.
