Sure! When you say "if you don't get to heaven, you aren't a christian," you're begging the question something awful, because you've slipped in the conclusion (that there is a real heaven, and it's yours) into the definition of christianity.

Not only that, but you've also set up a dishonest series of condition wherein you can automatically discount any profession of christianity that doesn't help your case by puffing up your religion as home of the moral and good. To answer this argument about christians in prison, all you did was define criminal christians out of existence by fiat declaration. Aside from not actually being an argument, it's also just plain fallacious: why are people who attempt and fail at christianity not christians? Because you say so? Isn't faith in Jesus all you need to be saved?

Guess not, when you're in Godschild land, where everything is either in favor of his particular brand of christianity, or it must not really exist.

Quote:Faith has no magic, with God it's full of grace, of coarse you can't begin to understand such love.

So are you going to drink some poison to demonstrate what a true christian you are?
