The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well.
So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

God would have to appear. In which case I would accept my sentence to hell willingly, and would wonder why he claimed to be "omnipotent", when there's so many inconsistencies and stuff.

Opinions absolutely can be right or wrong. And I'm not telling you to believe in hell or not. I'm telling you that you're stance is irrational and that in the hypothetical case that you proposed, you would woefully unprepared to accept your "sentence" willingly. Though, to be fair, that line of thinking appears to come from pride, so perhaps you would be willing to forego an eternity of peace for a possible eternity of misery as long as you know that it was your decision. I guess that's not ignorance as much as foolishness. Either way, it's your hypothetical, and I'm saying it's nonsense. Whether it's your "opinion" or not makes no difference to me.

You're still assuming that I have no idea what Hell is like. I made a decision to believe in God at one time, and I've made the decision to stop, since. You don't know me or my views, so you cannot say that my proposal is irrational. It fits my criteria for believing in God, and frankly it's becoming irritating that you even think that you can tell me I'm wrong for having them.
