Kewl.

Looking at the number of people who believe in heaven and hell - it says 81% percent believe in heaven, but only 69% believe in hell. Which begs an inclusion of corollary to this research: 12% of believers are completely delusional or retarded.

When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

You seem to be forgetting a little thing called Universalism.

"Tous les êtres humains naissent libres et éguax en dignité et en droits. Ils sont doués de raison et de conscience et doivent agir les uns envers les autres dans un espirit de fraternité." - Article I de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l'homme

Sure, why not? I'm a Universalist. I can't be the only one.
