Just pointing out the stupidity of this argument

The missionary has just finished relating the principle behind the salvation offered by Jesus.  The native scratches his head for a bit and says, 'Ok, let me see if I've got this straight.  You've told me all about your Jesus.  If I believe in him, I'll go to Heaven and be happy, but if I don't believe in him, I'll got to Hell and be miserable, is that right?'

'Excellent!' crows the missionary.  'You've got it exactly!'

The native ponders a few more moments, then asks, 'Suppose you had never come to my country and told me about Jesus.  Would I still go to this Hell place?'

'Oh no, my son.  Jesus would forgive your savage ignorance and you'd go to Heaven just as if you believed in him with all your heart.'

The native grips his spear a little tighter and says through clenched teeth, 'Then WHY did you tell me about him?'

I like this. Ignorance of the law IS an excuse.

Theists, want more people to go to heaven? Yes, then shut the fuck up!
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
