Great quote about religion:)
I was just doing some googling based on another post about the odd friendship between Mel Gibson and Robert Downey Jr. Now this quote from Downy just makes me even more amazed by that pairing:)...

<snip>
In my religion we use prayer beads, too, but we call it a rosary,"
one lasped Catholic said to Downey at the In Style party.

Yeah, but at the centre of my beads there's a nice tassel,
while at the centre of your beads there's a human sacrifice,"
he replied. "Budda found enlightenment by sitting under a
tree, while Jesus was hung on one. I'm going with the former
these days.
<snip>

That is certanly an odd pairing....Apparently they are very, very close.:crazy:

1. Apparently he relates well with heretics.
He's convinced his wife is going to Hell, but they still have a very good marriage.

2. as much as i disagree with his views
those are the views of his religion. if hes really a christian of his particular denomination, thats how it works. i dont agree, but i guess ya gotta give him points for staying true to his opinions (just like Our Great Leader :eyes:)
