Think about it...
“Maybe there are only atheists in foxholes. If the faithful truly and fully believe in a protective deity, why would they dive into a foxhole to protect themselves from the bullets whizzing by?

Three weeks ago, I made the decision to purchase the newly launched Exede, High Speed Satellite service offered by Viasat (formerly WildBlue). Unfortunately for me, my home requires a signifcant expense to hook up to the local cable service. I have been suffering along with a fairly decent DSL connection (3 down .75 up). After learning about Exede however, I thought it would be worth a shot....
