$19.99 Tickets To Heaven Exclude Gays
December 30, 2004
Leave it to Canada to seek prosecution for a Canadian website selling $20 certificates garanteeing passage to Heaven. The site sells cheaper tickets for pets, but excludes gays.
The "heaven's registry" website - its domain name registered to a "Petr Kouba" at an Edmonton address and phone number - offers buyers an "official heaven's certificate that 100% guarantees the owner a space in heaven."But no gays are allowed to purchase the certificate that costs $19.99 or $14.99 for "cherished pets," the site stipulates. "Anyone else we can guarantee."

Canada's ridiculous hate speech laws know no bounds. Peter Kouba's website is hardly as serious and embarassing as the Catholic Church's history of selling access to Heaven via "indulgences."
An indulgence sold by authority of the Pope by Johann Tetzel in 1517. The text reads: "By the authority of all the saints, and in mercy towards you, I absolve you from all sins and misdeeds and remit all punishments for ten days."
