That's just not fair. There are lots of religions for losers. In fact, most religions are probably for losers. That's why they are the opiates for the masses- if you can't get your oxy, at least you've got church...

It certainly meets most of the criteria for a "Doomsday Cult" when practiced by Fundamentalists. The Episcopal Churches in my town are very liberal and enlightened. I wouldn't want to paint everyone with a broad brush when a lot of people just go to feel enlightened or spiritual. I wish I could have participated in some of the support and community that people get from their "non-loutish" denominations. I can't sit through the dogma and Body of Christ stuff.

Jimmy Carter lost to Raygun, so he has a point.
