No. He didn't.
But I also don't feel I should criticize the religions of others if they can make them work. I'd be lying if I didn't acknowledge that Christianity has a lot of bad history to make up for, and some of the Christian "leaders" around the US (especially) are amazing examples of total a-holes. But if we start condemning all Christianity for James Dobson, Pat Robertson, et al., then why not Islam for their radicals, or Judaism for the ultra-Orthodox fringe lunatics?
And some of the Christians I've met actually manage to do a pretty impressive job of sorting through all the bullshit and actually living lives that Jesus (who, if he wasn't the Messiah, was still really a pretty damn good guy) would be proud of.
