[mike tyson] on religion and rape

Just been reading about Iron Mike

1 May 2002: "Everybody says they believe in God but they don't do God's work. Everybody counteracts what God is really about. If Jesus was here, do you think Jesus would show me any love? Do you think Jesus would love me? I'm a Muslim, but do you think Jesus would love me ... I think Jesus would have a drink with me and discuss ... why you acting like that? Now, he would be cool. He would talk to me. No Christian ever did that and said in the name of Jesus even ... They'd throw me in jail and write bad articles about me and then go to church on Sunday and say Jesus is a wonderful man and he's coming back to save us. But they don't understand that when he comes back, that these crazy greedy capitalistic men are gonna kill him again."

18 Jul 1991: Mike Tyson had relations with an 18 year old beauty pageant contestant who came to his room. He was later accused of rape and sent to prison for three years. Here are the opposing arguments.
