Clearly not as many as being delivered *to* homosexuality--and you
don't need a revelation to see that; queueing theory will do fine.
Actually, the whole fundamentalist dogma fits into a queueing model
rather nicely.  Until the big interrupt comes, anyway.

But this "neurosis is a result of sin"--what an intriguing hypothesis.
Don't stop there, Jeff.  Surely other diseases are caused by sin, too.
Especially the really disgusting ones like cancer of the pancreas and
the black death.  The so-called "germ theory" is an even more
invidiously humanist plot than evolution.

How do we get rid of this sin?  Heh, heh (thank you, Mr. Calvin)--
we *beat* it out of them!  But wait, this is the 20th Century.  What
are we, barbarians?  We don't have to resort to *fisticuffs* any more.
We can beat the odious sin out of those filthy, perverted (but
otherwise lovable) sinners *electronically*.  In net.religion.
*EVERY SINGLE DAY*.
