  Not one to start religious wars, but it is amazing what you find in
the Bible.  Howabout:

  "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:  it shall
not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please,
and it shall prosper _in_the_thing_ whereto I sent it."

                            -- Isaiah 55:11 (King James version)

   If God says he doesn't use C++ for OOP when he wants things to
work, I'll take His word for it.  (I ran into this because a partial
quote was in a hymn at chuch a few weeks back.  I had to run down the
reference.  I even thought about using it as a .sig, but figured most
people wouldn't understand it.)
