The question was this: \u201cWhy would you risk your soul? #atheism\u201d Now, I know the Christian wasn\u2019t actually expecting an answer, but I would like to answer this question anyway.<\/p>\n<p>My response is simple. I would ask a question right back; \u201cWhy he or she would risk be exposed to Thetans by rejecting L. Ron Hubbard? My point is that they don\u2019t believe Thetans exist (I don\u2019t either btw) and that is why they don\u2019t consider it a risk to not believe in Thetans. I don\u2019t believe souls exist and that is why rejecting Christianity in favor of reality doesn\u2019t actually risk my soul. I have no soul to risk and no soul to lose.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, I am so not worried about my soul being lost that I will gladly sell it to you along with all my Thetans to any Christian and Scientologist willing to pay me a decent amount of money in reality.<\/p>\n<p>The question itself however, is just a watered down version of Pascal\u2019s Wager. To really protect your soul, you should believe in every religion. But you can\u2019t do that because many of them are mutually exclusive. So I\u2019m going to pitch Christians the next best thing:<\/p>\n<p>No more risks to your immortal soul for working on the Sabbath. No more risks to your immortal soul for premarital sex or accidently calling out the name of the wrong deity during sex. No more risks from Thetans for taking anti-depressants or talking to an SP. Did you accidently look on someone with lust in your heart? No problem, your soul is protected!<\/p>\n<p>Protect your Soul and protection from Thetans too for no extra charge with this once in an afterlife time offer. How much would you expect to pay to protect your immortal soul and protection from all of those nasty Thetans? Ten million dollars, you say? Well, it is certainly worth every penny of that and then some. Think about it; eternity is a very long time and these souls and Thetans are eternal. When you think about a mere ten million dollars \u2013 that\u2019s a bargain. Slash that, for this one reality only event, we\u2019ll give you all that protection absolutely free! That\u2019s right, all you have to do is send us zero dollars and zero cents in three monthly installments of zero and you will get protection for your eternal soul from every religion\u2019s version of Hell plus protection from any and all Thetans sent against you from the Evil Galactic Overlord, Xenu. But that\u2019s not all; act now and we will throw in a more enjoyable reality here and now absolutely free? How do you get this amazing offer? It\u2019s easily &#8212; use reason, logic, and skepticism and become an atheist today. Order within your one lifetime and you will receive a free gift of a sense of wonder and curiosity about the universe and everything. Hurry, supplies are limited heathens are standing by to take your order.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/04\/10\/the-path-to-atheism-is-paved-with-hell\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Path to Atheism is Paved with Hell<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/03\/26\/why-advocating-for-atheism-is-important\/\" target=\"_blank\">Why Advocating For Atheism Is Important<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li\"><a href=\"https:\/\/skepticink.com\/dangeroustalk\/2013\/03\/20\/faith-in-people\/\" target=\"_blank\">Faith In People<\/a> (skepticink.com)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;height: 15px\"><a class=\"zemanta-pixie-a\" title=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" href=\"http:\/\/www.zemanta.com\/?px\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"border: none;float: right\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/zemified_e.png?x-id=6b7a656a-3da8-4b61-a2cd-948cdc5147aa\" alt=\"Enhanced by Zemanta\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Awhile back, a Christian Tweeted an interesting question to atheists.
