Does the World Need Religion?

[phoenix31]

I know what you are trying to say, Phoenix and it doesn't hold water.

First off, the pope's holy crusaders murdered thousands and expected to get sent to heaven for it.  But that isn't even the worst part of jesusism.  It has a built in get-out-of-jail-free card wherein all you have to do is say "I'm sorry, pappy jesus" and he forgives any and all crimes.... except apparently blaspheming the fucking holy spirit or some such shit.

I have a scathing disrespect for any fucking religion which insists that Jeffrey Dahmer can be "saved" but Gandhi will burn in hell.

When Dahmer died, I was a staff writer for The Oklahoman. I’ll never forget talking that day with Curt Booth, a member of the Crescent Church of Christ in Oklahoma, about his role in Dahmer’s conversion.
“I know Jeffrey was ready,” Booth told me. “Today, all the angels in heaven are rejoicing because Jeffrey has come home.”
Booth said he had no doubt about the sincerity of Dahmer’s conversion.
“On the great resurrection day, I’m expecting to see him right along there with Abraham, David, Isaac, James, John and all the saints that have lived right up to the modern day,” Booth said.

Assholes.

Fair enough.
