I agree. It serves no purpose. I am not one of these religion-bashers, but this is precisely the kind of thing that makes me laugh at the supposed "superiority" of "believers" who claim to be so much better than everyone else. There is a particularly ugly streak among religious folks who claim the authority to decide who's going to hell and who isn't.
Religious zealots are self-righteous legalists who conveniently ignore the Scriptural warnings directly aimed at them. [John 7:24; Matt 23:28; Rom.2:28-29, etc., etc.]
