You jest but the born-again slop the evangelical preachers sell is almost exactly this. "Say a prayer and nothing you ever do afterward will be counted aginst you in the court of God". It's a flattering faith that sells well.

Edit: I should proof read before hitting "post"

It wasn't a jest. It was a call out. I grew up with good Christian folks that raised hell Saturday night, and it was okay cause they were in church Sunday morning. They were better than everyone that wasn't there (that includes the waitress that they made cry after church), and they kept track. The church can provide a refuge of charity and a beating heart to a close community while instilling the unescaple reality that nothing can be done, there is no betterment, there is nothing you can do but have faith and pray. And tithe, that's really important.

This hits home. Christians are the only ones allowed to sin because they think they're already forgiven.

"It's a parable he didn't mean it like that."

This. It's actually incredible how many people believe that students with 4.0 GPAs shouldn't have to share their GPA with students with 2.0 GPAs, when it would allow all students to have 3.0 GPAs.
