12. My best friend pulled # 8 and #10 on me recently
"It's better to believe and have it not be true than not believe and go to hell."

So I'm supposed to pretend I believe--to lie--just to appease god? It wouldn't work anyway. Once you no longer believe you can't go back to believing unless some proof comes along to change your mind, and that hasn't happened yet.


And #10 is easily refuted. I quoted George Washington and John Adams (from the Treaty of Tripoli)for one:

"The United States is in no way founded upon the Christian religion"
