While holding an innocent tourist at gunpoint, an armed man offers the tourist a choice: Sir, you have two options. You may either join me in my various causes against the villainous society we live or you may choose to be separated from me. By the way, if you choose neither I will choose for you and worse yet, 'separation' also means that I'm going to separate your head from your body. ....... but hey, it's your choice buddy.
Do you know how painfully stupid you have to be not to see this glaring absurdity? (Don't bother answering ... we already know.)
Well put. There is not another more compelling thought experiment that illustrates the absolute ignominious claims of christianity. Its insulting to modern intelligence. I don't know how any self-respecting adult can swallow this God pill without vomiting.
They swallow, taste and savor it because they've been brainwashed to do so... by their parents, educators, peers, friends, colleagues, etc...
And, since they're in the good side of the matter, they don't care about the bad one too much.
When the whole world tells you that X is good, you can't say X is bad, unless there's something very wrong with you.
