I got into a little debate on Livejournal about hell which stemmed from a comment someone made that was basically the "If you're gay, you go to hell, but I think you're a good person".
I ended up taking someone to task for this statement and I got Pascal Wagered! I brought up the "Which religion?" rebuke for Pascal's and this is the response I got:
I've heard people say a lot of really dumb shit, especially when it's a Christian who doesn't really know much about their own religion....but yeah. This one was a first.
I think my Jewish friends would have something to say about this. :/
