That wasn't meant as an attack on Christianity, I don't think, more an observation of the use of it for a questionable commecrial purpose.
So what? Let's say I'm a Druid, and I want to sell gizmos and I know the people I'm trying to sell them to are Druids, and I go to them and say: "Hey, I'm a Druid, too!" in order curry their favor and further my sales.
So, what's wrong with that, morally - much less legally? What am I missing here?
how does the excercise of one's religion -- real or alleged -- qualify as a "questionable commercial" purpose? I mean, if he wasn't promising that people buying his paintings would get into heaven sooner would be able to stay out of hell no matter what they did, what's the problem?
