Aaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhh......

So why don't you believe in Rama and be a good Hindu so when you are reborn 
it isn't as a lower form of life like a maggot?

Or why don't you believe in Allah as revealed in Koran by Mohammed so you can
spend eternity in Paradise served by beautiful Houris instead of going to the
Islamic hell?

Or why not believe in Odin so when you die in battle so you can spend eternity 
in Valhalla fighting by day, feasting and carousing by night?
 

Or why not believe in Zeus and do good deeds so that when Charon the ferryman
takes you accross the River Styx you are rewarded insted of being eternally
punished like Sysiphus.

This argument doesn't tell you *which* god to believe in, or *which* hell
to avoid.

I honestly can't believe that the christians who regularly post this stupid
argument can't see for themselves the gaping holes in it.
