Either he or she will probably wind up not liking their partner that they didn't "test drive". This will not wind up well.

The One-Upmanship begin has begun!

I give it 50 years and everyone on the planet will be a saint.

Wait a minute... Are they taking a page out of the Mormon book? Catholicising non-Catholics after their death?

Wow! That angle hadn't even occured to me.

Also, by pure odds, at least one of those 800 had to be gay, one had to be an atheist, and one had to be a pagan!

Holy crap, we totally just got our first, openly, Gay Saint, Atheist Saint, and Pagan Saint! All in one day!

I sometimes forget that we live in a world where people not only believe in exorcism but have "serious" debates over whether or not one took place... good grief.

In other news, he apparently just admitted that Atheists can be good people even though they don't believe in God and as such, they will be allowed into heaven. So congrats guys, you get stuck spending eternity worshiping a God you don't believe in but I guess it beats eternal fire.
