The best way to stump fundy's who suggest only those who believe get into heaven [View all]
In recent years I haven't been in too many arguments with folks I know about religion, however the few times I have been, including last night I have found one line of reason that I use, that seems to always stump them. Last night a friend and I were discussing probabilities of different thing and I said something about there being a 100% probability that we all die. He then went on to say that those who believe will never die to which I said "If you are trying to convert me into becoming a Christian on the live forever line but only if I believe in Jesus, it won't work because I could never believe in a God that would exclude good folks, many of which are my family and friends who I know are wonderful people. That is not a God I would ever respect or want to worship."
He is usually the type to keep arguing but got quite trying to think of a comeback and the argument just ended. This has happened to me before a couple of times. I think the reason it works is because they themselves probably find it a bit tyrannical and really what more can they say when you just took the moral high ground over their God?
