• Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight.

And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.
