That presupposes that we are always confronted with a two-way choice. False Dilemma Fallacy!
The young man has a 50/50 chance of coming away unharmed.
Only if exactly half the chambers are empty. But that is not how one traditionally plays Russian Roulette.
Regards,
I speak spiritually, in that we are to chose right.
We all have 50/50 chance to chose right or wrong, the consequences be damned at that point, Because you chose to do wrong makes you guilty of sin.
Sin entered the world, and thus all of creation fell, and now we are at the whim of chance in a fallen world. So that even for those who chose right could be a victim of calamity. Yet we are judged on our choices, not the outcome.
Yet as a follower of Christ, our chances of screwing up so bad we die and are eternally lost is nodda. We have 100% chance of living eternally regardless of happenstance, but as a Christian why would we limit our chance in this world by doing something unwise?
Just think of all those lost souls we could still win before we die, if we chose wisely.Thus by choosing wisely we will never put ourselves in harms way purposely, like those who are lost and chose to use the Wisdom of man.
