Yeah especially for stupid shit like shaving, eating pork or shrimp, or being a Doctor and working on Sunday. I agree with Chris Rock in that I seriously doubt if a God or Gods exist they're sitting around letting serial murderers into Heaven because they ate right or only killed people Monday through Friday.
It amuses me when the wingnuts whine about moral relativism. But they're perfectly happy to allow our government to freaking kidnap and torture people - including American citizens.
Not sure I understand the whole "atheists are going to heaven too" thing. I realize UUs believe in universal salvation but it seems to me that if everybody gets to be in the cool club then it's not all that cool. My belief is that when you die, *click* you're gone. But even if I'm wrong (I actually hope that I am) and the UU's are right, why would whatever universal mind controlling this place want someone who didn't believe hanging out with him/her/it?
