Damnation by Probability Quotes

“We are asked to “freely love God” under threat of eternal torture? Why not remove the torture and see how much we love him? Why not remove the carrot of heaven and then see how many freely love God? Take away all the perks and you will see it’s really not love at all. The faithful have been indoctrinated by those with an interest in keeping them in an in-group, tithing, and believing exactly what they are told. Note how much of religious education is rote training and not an open inquiry. In many Muslim countries, apostasy (changing one’s religion) is forbidden–and a death sentence. In the Sudan a Muslim woman cannot marry a Christian man. Changing your faith, Christian or Muslim, would be a bold act of willful disobedience–against your God, your family, your church, your friends, and your lifelong set of beliefs. It would be considered heresy and evil. You would be accused of being infected by Satan against the one true God. Yet, that is exactly what would be required of you to escape damnation in any one of the countries where Christianity is a minority faith.”
