You know, there are MANY who would label you as a non-Christain because of what you have stated above.....in fact, I'm truely surprised that Isaac agrees with this type of justification.

"Your God is a terrorist, right?" Thats just too damn funny, Brain. Cause and effect, Brain, cause and effect. Who would've guessed that there could be consequences to atheism? Tell ya what, I want ya to get ****faced drunk and go sleep on the railroad tracks tonight, ok? Or how about this, I want ya to get your buddies to take ya out to the middle of the ocean and drop ya off...without a floatation device. Or how about this one, I want ya to build a huge wooden pyrimid, climb up on top with a couple of gallons of gas and spark it up! But I get the feeling you're not gonna do any of those things, because ya know what the consequences could be, right? It'll be FEAR that stops ya from doing those things, but so what? Does the fact that FEAR is involved in the equation invalidate anything? Change anything? Make your decision not to do those things any less heartfelt or sincere? Ofcourse not! Now, I dont REALLY want ya to come to any harm or put yourself in a dangerous situation, I'm simply using those examples to make the point that everything we do or not do has consequences, and that just because the powerful motivation of fear naturally plays a healthy role in our decision making, that fact changes absolutely nothing. Ever hear the phrase "he's a God-fearin man", Brain? Ever wonder what it meant?
Assuming ya dont meet your end in a sudden, completely unexpected way, Brain, you're gonna have some time to think about the consequences of your choices, particularly your choice NOT to believe in God. But if you're a true atheist, as ya profess to be, you're not gonna give a damn about something as trivial as the disposition of your soul...that shouldnt bother ya one bit, right? See, I dont believe you're really that stupid. And if you're really not that stupid, then you're just making a specious argument here for the sake of controversy, which is fine. Very, very few people are stupid enough to be true atheists, and I dont for a second believe you're one of them. But ya DO have a choice, Brain. Ya have free will to do as ya please. And if ya really ARE a true atheist, then ya wont recant when you're on your deathbed...neither aloud where others can hear you NOR silently, ya wont recant! But I'm bettin ya will. I'd bet any amount of money ya will.
