re: #138 HappyWarrior

I think it was the whole idea that you have to be a certain kind of Christian to go to heaven or else you go to hell that has long turned me off evangelical Protestantism.

In Scotland there is the ‘Scottish Free Presbyterian Church’, or the “wee frees” as they are often called - a small (and dwindling) sect who seem to believe that this universe was created so that they alone could be rewarded for their small mindedness with the keys to heaven.

The Milky Way with its hundreds of billions of stars, and the 500 billion other galaxies each with hundreds of billions of stars are presumably just a decorative backdrop to this important stuff.
