Also, your attempt at using humor failed. This was in no way funny. I don't know why you would want to use humor to convey this message anyway. Just put it up from the get go and let it get popular that way instead of trying to deceive people. Oh wait, not that I think of it, Satan was always trying to be deceitful too. Deceiving people to get across the message of what you believe was Satan's business. Sounds pretty much like the same thing you are doing.
And, most importantly, I CERTAINLY don't think that the only ones going to heaven are you and the other members of your small club you call your local christian community or denomination. That is TOTAL BS and God himself would agree.
I've thought about it from a scientific standpoint (physics degree), a religious standpoint (catholic school for 12 years) and a philosophical standpoint (various classes/discussions) but I don't have a solid answer. I don't find myself terrified that God might exist and hold me accountable for anything. I kind of believe but it's hard to say. I also dont think God is going to punish anyone else that doesn't believe.
"The problem with atheism is it is easy to think you are above the law. " The problem with self rightous christians is that they think they are above everyone else because they are somehow "saved". GTFO. You are no better than anyone else and no more right than anyone else. The fact you are trying to convert people is bullsh*t. You don't see athiests walking around trying to convert people, they let people do what they want. I've heard all the arguments, and I may or may not believe in God.
Also, Plato tried to use this logic to prove the existence of God and failed. You are NOT more clever than Plato. This is a CLASSIC fallacy of EVERY AND ALL.
This is a BIG TIME critical thinking fallacy. It is INVALID. Let's examine:
1. Everything that comes to be has a cause.
2. The universe came to be.
Therefore
3. Something caused the universe.
Therefore
4. God caused the universe.
See how it doesn't follow? 3. follows from 1 and 2, but there is nothing saying that this cause of the universe is the only thing existing. There could be 5 things that join together to cause the universe. Polytheism, sweet! Critical thinking, PHIL 120. Fallacy of EVERY
As you stare at the dot, the periphery is filled with the castle, and your brain fills in the yellow and green grass, clouds, and everything else based on your experience of seeing these things on a regular basis. Once you look away from the dot, at another part of the image, your cones pick up the image as black and white, and your brain knows the whole image should be black and white based on this input.
Thanks for listening ^^.
Want to know why it works? Your eye has 2 light receptors, rods and cones. Cones see in color, and see in focus, but only get light from directly in front of your eyes. Rods see your peripheral vision, but do NOT see color. However, based on experience, your brain will fill in what the rods see with color in order to produce a coherent image in full color.
