Imagine that you're trying to shoot a baby

No I don't think that I will.

In order to verify that this wasn't a coincidence, I would need to repeat the experiment on multiple babies.

No, but I'd definitely put that necklace on anyway. Not like the baby knew anything about religion, but it still worked for him; should work for me, too.

No. I'd just wear the cross to become invincible.

you're trying to shoot an indestructible christian baby

I really want to know why I would be trying to shoot said baby in the first place. Is it the antichrist? Am I being blackmailed? Is this some sick bet?

What do Christians think atheists spend their time doing?

Funny how they keep relying on impossible hypotheticals.

Needs a Christian to even come up with the idea to shoot at a baby....

They get weirdly intricate with their baby death fantasies

I mean... Why did the God not protect the baby anymore? Is the crucifix a required magic catalyst or something to get Gods protection? Do we have any known cases where the catalyst was not needed?

I think I'm closer to solving the riddle of Gods power...

That depends, if I shoot the baby and they die immediately, as if they took a shotgun blast to the face, would you become an atheist?

wouldnt it be the anti-christ, since hes technically indestructible. jesus can be killed by normal humans.

Nothing scarier that someone who believes in shit they can't see that encourages them to be violent.

Maybe don't shoot the baby?

Just because the amulet of protection in the shape of a crucifix doesn't mean it has anything to do with god. Wizards are mischievous.

What happens when the baby turns to red mist? Is that just "part of God's plan"?

Wtf??

Why would I be shooting a baby with a shot gun?

I'm an evil atheist, but Christians want to shoot babies with shot guns. Seems legit.

I haven't build my identity around not believing in gods. Show me compelling evidence and I'll reconsider. Shotgun pellets bouncing off a baby would definitely offer food for thought.

I’d dislike a god even more choosing to allow such a test to proceed. It’s a variant on the “Trolley Problem”.

What kind of god would sacrifice an infant to prove belief instead of just popping in with a booming voice and saying “Yes, I’m real you morons!” to prove it?

It's christians who kill babies. Gaza, Iran, and the grandaddy of them all-the Oklahoma Federal Building.

I'd probably start believing in magic necklaces. Then I'd start down a dangerous path of experimentation to test the limits of the necklace's invulnerability enchantment.

the question is designed to trick anyone who engages with it into conceding that they would shoot a baby, and then they can turn around and say "atheists want to shoot babies"

They have atheists and vampires confused I think

Got a few issues with this one.

1. Nobody goes out trying to shoot indestructible christian babies with a shotgun. They're indestructible and shells cost money.
2. Is having the cross forcefully removed supposed to make the baby no longer christian, indestructible, or "christian indestructible" (and if so, what's that?)?
3. Would converting therefore involve or require equipping the amulet I've looted off the now dead baby? And if so, will I lose my christian indestructibility if I take it off?

In essence, would you change your religion if it gave an attunement bonus to something you wore (and perhaps have looted off a murdered faithful)?

Tbf, it'd be worth the shitload in church tax I'd then have to pay... if it worked. Which is the trouble with these religious relics anyway, eh?

I will absolutely not imagine trying to shoot a baby you sick fuck

What the even fuck is this

I've missed the Christian baby genre and haven't seen it in awhile.

I’d need to put the talisman on an animal, and on an inanimate object, to confirm if the power is faith-based, or intrinsic.

If it’s intrinsic, it’d test if the amulet itself is indestructible, to see if it can be sent to the center of the Earth so our planet becomes indestructible.

How am I supposed to eat a baby that's either indestructible or full of buckshot?

If shotgunning a baby is what it takes to discover immortality...
