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.
Verification is proof and proof denies faith.
That's not how the magic sky man deal works.
Okay, that's great Jesus, but I'm still going to need to poke you in the spear hole before I buy this Third Day Resurrection bullshit.
Brand new sentence.
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.
Cast it into the fire! Destroy it!
No.
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?
Asking questions. The most vile of sins.
Plotting to murder babies obviously. Post-birth abortions are a thing according to Fox News...no /s
Funny how they keep relying on impossible hypotheticals.
Isn't that, like, the whole book?
Needs a Christian to even come up with the idea to shoot at a baby....
They get weirdly intricate with their baby death fantasies
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?
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...
Lack of object permanence. The baby stopped being a Christian when the crucifix was gone
wouldnt it be the anti-christ, since hes technically indestructible. jesus can be killed by normal humans.
He wasn't wearing a crucifix
spoiler
Around his neck I mean
In roman Palestine, the crucifix wears you!
Nothing scarier that someone who believes in shit they can't see that encourages them to be violent.
Maybe don't shoot the baby?
Literally impossible without having Jesus in your hearts.
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.
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"
Got a few issues with this one.
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?
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.
They have atheists and vampires confused I think
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?
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.
But the amulet wasn't at the center of the baby to make it indestuctible. More likely you'd need to put it on a chain which ran around the circumference of the Earth.
How am I supposed to eat a baby that's either indestructible or full of buckshot?
Nothing about that cruel suggestion makes any sense. Why did it need to a baby, why can't it be trying to shoot the idiot making this insane suggestion who volunteers to wear a necklace and be shot.
Counter-offer: same scenario to the ignorant Christian who is shit-posting, but the necklace is of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God. Let's see if he would convert. Moron.
If shotgunning a baby is what it takes to discover immortality...
I will absolutely not imagine trying to shoot a baby you sick fuck
