What if you told the child that if he doesn't choose the cauliflower he'll fry in Hell for eternity?

How can one attempt a logical argument when starting out from an assumption that is a fallacy? The belief in the biblical God is an act of faith based on a lack of empirical evidence and a book that has been proven to be a plagiarization of more ancient writings. There can be no logic in your argument.

With billions on the planet what does God use to keep people straight, name tags?
How about people who have the same name and no relationship to each other?
I think we should have the right to the Heavenly Freedom of Information Act.
What if there are errors or omissions does this mean, St Peter is responsible?
Or is it God who is the ultimate authority on birth matters and death matters for
that matter?
I think organized religion is the problem, it has more to do with traditions than faith
and faith that disrupts creativity or individual thought is stunting the growth of
civilization. There is a difference between spiritualism and the confines of an
organized faith that demands specific beliefs to be a member. No I don't think any
organized faith has the answers in and of themselves.
