No, this is called crackpottery. (and religious beliefs are not the only domain in which it's seen)Loren Booda said:The Fundamental Method:
Did not Franck Zappa write a song about catholic girls ? Maybe she just meant she wanted to see you again in Heaven.TheStatutoryApe said:I met a girl who had been taught that when I was in the fifth grade. She also told me that I was going to hell if I didn't accept jesus as my lord and savior. I've not been suprised by much in that regard since then.
