[QUOTE="DoubtingLikeThomas, post: 2761332, member: 882424"] My standard answer I have been a frequent visitor to the Yahoo! Answers “Religion & Spirituality” forum. There, as well as in my personal life, I have been warned by various Believers in various Religions, that unless I subscribe to the ONE True Religion, I shall be cast into an eternity of torment. In alphabetical order, the names of the religions I recall being warned by are: Baptist, Catholic, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormon, Muslim, Protestant, Seventh Day Adventist. And, not threatening me with torment, but still suggesting I subscribe, Satanists have also informed me that Satanism is the only possible choice for a truly intelligent person. My standard request is to ask a great favor from anyone who has a relationship with any sort of Supernatural Being who A.Knows all things B.Responds to prayers, and C.Actually cares one way or the other whether I believe or not. Ask your Invisible Friend what the 3-digit number on the pink sticker on my desk telephone is. Send the answer to the address on my profile. If your Invisible Friend cares so much about me, that (in your Friend’s opinion) I deserve to be punished for not believing, then, certainly, your Friend will answer your request, by providing the number. Some of the same people who claim that living in this world tends to corrupt innocent children, who eventually will wind up in Hell, are the same people who will pray to their God to cure the child of an otherwise fatal injury or disease, thereby keeping the child in this world. But they will steadfastly refuse to pray to that same God for a three digit number, which would turn me away from doubting that their God really cares. [/QUOTE]
