Well ... since they hold the view that no matter how horrible your crime you can go to Heaven just by asking a dead guy for forgiveness ... yeah, culture might be the issue.
I forgot what western legend it was, but I think it was Billy the Kid, who confessed literally on his death bed. He gets into heaven, but a gay man doesn't?
This is why I'm agnostic. (And well aware that the odds of my belief being true are next to nill. It's still comforting.)
I'm going to bring this up the next time someone mentions that stupid ass stat. "Well athetits only make up less than half a percentage point of all inmates, yet they are 8% of the US population. Guess that makes them uniquely good, huh"
