Yeah. Pretty much. Understanding of the word of the magic sky fairy 
grows, but only through ***our*** belief system, so all you other rag 
heads, beany tops, and tree huggers are now going to burn in hell, 
because, well... you wouldn't listen when we told you about these great 
improvements in understanding.

Or, as one American Indian was supposed to have said, more or less, "So, 
before you told me about your great god, his word and all the rules I am 
supposed to follow, I would have been saved anyway, but now that I do 
know, if I make the slightest mistake I am doomed? Why did you tell me 
then!?"
