Why ever make the sacrifices to become a viable chess player if you don't believe the royal game requires skill? Stoker's op quote suggests the perfect irony, Trev. We live and breathe and have our being in a lost and dying world... and thus has it ever been.

I think it was more than 95 years ago that it was prophesied?

Edit: How does an atheist preist know when it is time to go to bed? It is when the little hand meets the big hand. 😛

Yes, but I'm just citing a relatively recent event that is an unassailable fact.

Because somewhere around 50% (most likely more) of this forum wouldn't believe anything written in Daniel, Isaiah, Matthew or Revelation.

It's nothing new, nor surprising.
