St. Peter is Not a Bouncer
According to a national survey of more than 1000 people over the age of 18, 79% of Americans- and 68% of evangelicals- think that God isn't a tyrant when it comes to who gets into Heaven. Of course, for the religious right, who would not only pull an Abraham and sacrifice their son to God if he asked them to, but go the extra step and fillet him and serve him to the Lord with a nice full-bodied wine, this is a very bad thing. Because if we don't accept God, then we can't accept his sycophants- I mean, "shepherds," and deserve to be toasted.
