Mr. Deity is cool...

And, well, if he sez he doesn't help your favorite team, then I guess we have to take him at his word.

Quotes from the movie Nuns on the Run

"It makes no sense to anybody. That's why you have to believe it, that's why you have to have faith. I mean if it made sense it wouldn't have to be a religion, would it?"

"So we have to go on sinning in order to be saved and go to Heaven. That's how Christianity works. That's why it suits so many people."

"Some con-men sell life insurance. The church sells afterlife insurance. It's brilliant! Everyone thinks you might need it and no one can prove you don't."
