"Massive numbers of Christians believe in hell but is there anyone that believes that there is a similar punishment for disbelief in Poseidon or the FSM?"
Oooh! Argument from popularity. Two more and i get BINGO!
Hi I just want to focus on this for now even though you're talking about lots of different things....
I'm not aware of any believers in Poseidon or the Flying Spaghetti monster who also believe that non-believers suffer eternally.
But let's say that there are ten people who believe that non-believers in Poseidon or the FSM go to hell forever.
I think there are many hundreds of millions of Christians that believe that non-believers go to hell forever.
Now which believe seems more likely to be true? Something that has 10 believers or 100,000,000+ believers? Let's assume that the ten believers aren't geniuses.
So which would you put your money on?
Though the number of believers would be less than ten - I think it is closer to zero. If you disagree with this, please prove that someone honestly believes that non-believers in Poseidon or the FSM suffer eternally....
And there might even be more than a billion Christians that believe non-believers got to hell.... so who would you put your money on - something that zero people believe or something a billion people believe?
I know something having more believers doesn't completely prove it's true. But if you're talking about a court case it is considered to be evidence.
I remember you complaining that I expected you to provide answers even though I hadn't researched all of the different religions that exist. You do know that it takes several years even to be quite knowledgeable about one religion - I mean it takes years to train pastors.
So this is the only topic I think I'll debate with you for now. I hope you can give me an adequate reply where you are addressing my questions rather than just not taking me seriously.
Now which believe seems more likely to be true? Something that has 0 believers or 100,000,000+ believers?
Remember I'm talking about what is more likely not what is definitely true. And if you think there are more than 0 believers you need to provide hard evidence, not just speculation.
