I was reading an article today that addresses the question: Do all caterpillars become butterflies? I guess I assumed that they all did, but that was not exactly true. This article (I’ll reference it here) was explaining that all caterpillars go through a metamorphosis but only some of them...

So many people (including myself, at an earlier time) have vowed never to be a Christian, saying that they are all hypocrites!
