I mean if I was to accept Jesus I could bash a baby off of rocks and eat its corpse and Jesus would still accept me into heaven as long as I put faith in him. Conversely according to Christian teaching Gandhi is burning in hell right now.

You and I know that, but the bible also teaches to accept it all uncritically by faith.

Shit doesn't have to make sense if you've got faith! Wink
