Active, you may be smart, but you're just too stubborn. I still think my argument from the last religion thread holds water.
Lets hypothesize that Jesus/God is a salesmen. His story is that he created you, and is offering you a chance at eternal life with him. Sounds like a pretty good deal eh? Especially considering all he asks in return is for you to live your life like most good people do, believe in him, and worship him as your saviour. Honestly, it doesn't sound that hard.
But then the penny drops. What happens to all of the people that Jesus doesn't make a "sale" to? Apparently Jesus only likes sell salvation to North America and a few other small regions on the planet. As I'm typing this, there is family somewhere on the earth that has never heard of Jesus Christ. So what happens to them? Did they just get fucked out of enternal life and salvation because they happened to be born into a different religion?
Lets make some assumptions here for the sake of my argument:
1. God is the ONLY god
2. Christianity is the only correct religion.
3. You have to worship God in order not to go Hell
Damn. Looks as if 66% of the world is going to Hell, Active. Major drag eh? I mean, that would truly suck to be born into Hinduism only to find out when you die that your parents and geographical region picked the wrong religion! Your shit outta luck man!
Active, I want you to go up to your parents next time you see them, and thank them for living in Christian America. Give them a big hug, and relish the notion that you are going to heaven while 66% of your fellow humans are going to have their flesh melted off in the next life.
God must have left them out to dry. That sucks.
