Yay! Some of you are saying. More Terra Goes to Hell!

Eh. Some of you are saying. Whatever.

Terra's answer to Jason -- that if she doesn't believe in that stuff, she doesn't believe she'll go to hell if she doesn't believe in that stuff -- addresses one of my biggest evangelism pet peeves, the entirely circular logic loop.

You know, "you must believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God -- because the Bible says so!" Leaving aside notions of interpretation, you simply cannot use a thing to prove itself true. If the claim were "I am the greatest cartoonist in the history of the world, because I say so!" you would recognize the error immediately. You might believe me, or you might not believe me, but you would recognize the logical error.

And, even if you liked my cartoons, you would probably conclude that I was an arrogant jerk.

Which reminds me. I was recently in Hawaii for my friend Lisa's wedding. (Hi, Lisa!) Our hotel room had the usual Gideon Bible (the Gideons provide a King James Version) plus Teachings of the Buddha and the Book of Mormon. They take religious diversity seriously in Hawaii.

Also, Piña Coladas, beaches, and seafood. Which is a pretty good list, if you ask me.
