"Then we had our first meeting with the FIFA executive and Archbishop Tutu said: If you vote for us, I will make sure that you get a first class ticket to heaven," Jordaan quoted him as saying.“I kept quiet and when we went out, I said: Arch but you said we must not bribe. Isn’t that a bribe?”
Not a bribe
“He said: No, no, it’s not a bribe. A bribe is only when you give things to people who are alive. In order to get their first-class ticket, they must first die. That’s not a bribe.”
uhm, my company works very closely with the Arch, and I can guarintee you, the old toppie was making a joke with these morons. he has a very wicked sense of humour, believe me. if they are thick enough to take it seriously, then they are rather thick.
You’ve just gotta love the merry song-and-dance of slippery pseudo-reasoning that the religious are capable of conjuring up from nothing at short notice to “justify” their stupidity. Of course, without that capability the whole religious idiotolgy would instantly come crashing down.

Tutu is one of my favourite two clergymen. The other being Father George Coyne, Vatican astronomer.

LOL, it’s a bit like that creationist movie called Expelled.
Not much of one anyway. 
Tutu is one of two religionists I respect, the other is the late Bishop Alpheus Zulu, first black bishop in SA and who was proposed as Arch for Cape Town (that’s Tutu’s pozzie) but turned it down. Tutu’s sense of humor is a tonic amidst the sourpusses of the religious.
