Bullshit. The point was if you've never been there, you don't know what resides there.
You can post all of the snarkly remarks you want but that doesn't change the fact that if you've never been to a location, or you are not CURRENTLY at a location, you don't know what the hell is going on there.
Trust me, I know your disbelief in God is so strong that you don't like the idea of God being ANYWHERE..I got it...but the fact of the matter is, you don't know. It would be nice to know everything, to be everywhere, but face it, you don't know everything, and you are not everywhere.

There are three arguments we get from Christians pretty regularly. One is some version of "two billion people can't be wrong" and the other is some version of "but most of them aren't True Christians."
The third argument is some version of Pascal's Wager, which is particularly hilarious in light of the tens of thousands of different versions of Christianity alone. So no, they can't be right. There might not even be a scenario in which half of them are right. But all of them could definitely be wrong.
I will put it to you like this...all of them believe in Jesus Christ...and on that note, they could be all right. They don't have to agree on every little itsy bitsy detail...but they all got that part right.
