If you are an atheist and a non-organ donor, you are contradicting yourself.

What if I'm an atheist and a misanthrope?

As I understand it, Jewish people believe that in order to get into heaven, all of one's body parts must remain intact. Therefore, anyone who donates organs must not only disbelieve this, but must assign an absolute probability of ZERO that this belief is correct, since the penalty for being wrong, eternal damnation, is infinitely greater than even the loss of life itself.

There must be many organ donors here. Are you all 100% sure that this Jewish belief is incorrect? 99.99999% sure won't do.

i believe that you must donate at least one organ to get into heaven. are you 100% sure that this belief is incorrect?

This is one of the best one line rebuttals I've ever seen on this site.

is it really? it looked horrible to me. see, one belief is part of a religion that is very old and which a lot of people believe in. the other was made on the fly by a poster on an internet forum. i don't think you're going to throw any believers into a frenzy with that clever rebuttal.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who cares if its old? Surely you aren't implying that Sephus' religious belief is somehow inferior to Judaism? What metric do you use?

Oh wait, you already answered that, antiquity.

I'm glad somebody with an understanding of logic and of logical fallacy is still posting.. keep up the good work vhawk.

Yeah cos they're really gonna want to bring you back. Anyway if movies have taught me anything it's that the most likely candidates for bringing people back from the dead are evil geniuses who want an army of zombie slaves. I'll stay dead thanks.
