If I'm wrong, then I guess I'm going to hell. She figured if she was wrong, at least she'd led this wonderful life with her god, but I would have lived this life without god AND no reward at the end. It seemed like she was encouraging me to believe "just in case", as well.

I was in this other person's...I love this post. I was in this other person's shoes just a few years ago. It's amazing to me that as humans we sometimes forget to think about things. As a Christian (or Jew or Muslim or whatever), it's so easy to say, why don't you believe just in case? But for some reason the idea that they might be believing in the wrong god escapes them. Well, sometimes, we don't think things through. But when we are presented with challenging questions and THEN we don't think things through, that's irresponsible and stupid. That, my friends, is willful ignorance.

The old "why don't you hedge your ...Oh my. The old "why don't you hedge your bets" argument??? Ugh. I'm sorry that you had to endure such antics. Not that you can't handle yourself--I KNOW you can. But, it's just so disrespectful. My in-laws attempted that with me once (many years ago) in the course of a discussion about why I don't go to church; something like "Well, it won't *hurt* you to go to church, just in case He's keeping track." I think I answered with something like "Yes it would, because I don't believe in that. It would be hypocritical. I do my best to have my walk and talk match." lol She came at me again recently, but what she thought was more subtle, regarding the death of my sister. Can you imagine using someone's loss and pain to try to talk them into being religious?! I when I stood my ground, she was just nasty to me for the rest of the interaction. The religious think it's their mission in life to 'save' all of us heathens. How about we all just live and let live.Bridgetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-18620227834649740402014-03-12T10:35:58.094-06:002014-03-12T10:35:58.094-06:00Personally, I believe in Thor because, oh Mama, he...Personally, I believe in Thor because, oh Mama, he is hot!<br /><br />I hate those conversations, because the other person just doesn't get it and no amount of logic or reasoning helps. I sincerely hope the person learns not to bring the topic up again, because you have better things to do.Katfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958891915683675389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4357415193462649988.post-35527070782585807392014-03-12T01:14:26.524-06:002014-03-12T01:14:26.524-06:00I *totally* believe in purple flying unicorn monke...I *totally* believe in purple flying unicorn monkey hybrids, just in case.
