Is it true that Antoinette did NOT say Let them eat cake; when told the peasents were starving? is it not true that in fact it was a court clingon (courtesan), 20 yrs prior that actually said this and that she, Headless Ann, was then supposed to have made the statement and the lie happened to stick?

Today should have been my happily ever after.
So why am I do blue?
My day should have been filled with laughter.
Why it's not I haven't a clue.

Today I should have been a wife.
But I had the wrong groom!
He did nothing for me, but leave in my back a knife.
And now I'm filled with a sense of gloom.

Shall I never again smile?
I will have a long way to go.
As I heal I will travel many a mile.
But next time, I will be able to pick out the foe!

I am strong!
If he thought I'd cave,
Then he was very wrong!
For he's the knave!

And with this,
I am done.
And to think, I could have been his,
But now of me, he will get none.

If you are an atheist you would have to admit that there is a vast amount of information that you have never perceieved. Based on this it would be illogical to suggest that there is not God just because you have not seen one. Have you seen the moon slowly gravitate away from earth? Yet you assume that it's true based on calculations. What I say here is that there are many avenues so to speak that we have never gathered the possibile information on. Is it possible for you to not know of God unless you were God? I don't understand how an Atheist can say their belief is logical. I understand an agnostic view where they believe there is no way to know if there is a god or not. Please let me understand how atheism is logical.
Thanks

As a child I have read a story. I think that the writer was Dickens, but I am not sure. Would like to know the name (and author if not Dickens).

It was about young man returning from America (to England). He sent his rich cousins letter in which he explained that he is broke (which wasn't true) to see their reaction.

They didn't care about him, except the young girl that lived in their household and had one shorter leg. He borrowed him only money she had - one golden guinea. They become friends, fell in love...

Than he proposes her, she accepts, and his cousins became furious when he reveal that he is richer than they are.

Something like that.
