Why is it okay for missionaries to lie?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I think that most 'religious' people know, deep down, that it is a fantasy maintained for reasons of social cohesion. It's also nice to think that people once loved can be seen again. However, if people truly believed that their eternal souls were in jeopardy and following a specific set of tenants would save them, they would actually live by those tenants - all day, every day. The phenomenon of the casually religious would not exist.

This is exactly the crap I'm talking about.

Screw off PJ - not everybody has the same way of viewing the world.
