People are content to wait a long time for salvation, but prefer dinner to turn up inside an hour.
This makes me think of something else someone sent me a bit ago, that supposedly turned up on Twitter somewhere. File this one as reason #1 why I don't consider myself a Christian, despite the fact that I agree with most of what they claim to believe:

'Night Watch' was the first Pratchett book I read; damn good way to start.
