I have long suspected that your "buyer's remorse" proposition is true for most believers. Given the breadth of the effect religious belief has on the business of living one's life and the seeming competition for being more fervent than the next guy in the pew, I suppose it is to be expected to one degree or another.

The mental distress of coming to terms with the realization that you have wasted some part of the one most valuable commodity one has (days of life) has to be incredibly difficult to bear.

I disagree. You can ALWAYS trust a zealot. You just won't like the things you can always trust them to do...

No, you couldn't. Familiarize yourself with 10 U.S. Code § 246 which actually defines exactly what the militia (both organized militia and unorganized militia) are:

I don't have demographic data to reference, but I imagine the United States has a LOT of male citizens between the ages of 17 and 45.

I remain convinced this device was originally designed specifically to make as much noise as possible, and was only later used for storing baked goods.
