You mean I have to buy into a god that sacrifices himself to himself to change a rule that he, himself, made up in the first place?

Well, the vampire/cannibalism snack tradition makes it tempting, but I think I'll stick with playing god in video games.

I was thinking the same thing. This bitch is phoning it in.

Tax exemption.

One is still more socially-acceptable than the other.

While hate groups do exist, it's been used so loosely it's become a means of labeling any group you don't like, ironically causing hate in people who sincerely want to end hate. Usually what I hear is the two-wrongs-make-a-right fallacy. "I hate [group you don't like] because they hate [group you do like]." The problem is two-wrongs-make-a-right can be used to justify any action. For example, "She would have eaten my lunch so it's OK to eat hers." or "A convicted murder killed an innocent person so it's OK to execute the murder." or "Someone killed women and children in our the US so it's OK to bomb unarmed women and children in some other country." But as Socrates said 2300 years ago, "One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice."

You've apparently never seen some of the Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, or Seventh Day Adventist flavors of Protestantism.

Also, the white walls, shirts, and skin conjure up the phrase "banality of evil" more often than not.

That's what I was thinking although it would have been more entertaining with that special brand of crazy unique to Jack Chick.
