Food for thought, related to the convercation we had a few days ago:
In one interpretation of the bible, I think it's the gospel of Thomas (best name ever!), someone quotes jesus as to have said: "Jesus said...the Kingdom of God is inside you, and all around you, not in mansions of wood and stone. Split a piece of wood...and I am there, lift a stone...and you will find me."
They deal with this issue in the movie Stigmata, drawing inspiration from the fact that the Catholic Church is one of the most influential, powerful and wealthy organizations on the planet.

So many people spending so much time making sure they go to heaven when they die, but they are all afraid of death.
A random chart I pulled up as well:

I refuse to think that 66% of the world is wrong.
