And if it makes the Jews and Christians feel bad, ef 'em?

Religion is a faith based belief system. We can argue all day about whether a particular religion is true or not but it won't change what people believe.

Now, let's pretend that you truly believe in Religion X.

Now, work with me here. Let's pretend that you really believe this religion. You really do.

In that Religion X, you truly believe that an individual's soul would not be saved unless some ceremony was performed.

Let's say that I died and you truly believed that you would save my immortal soul for all Eternity if only you performed this ceremony in the privacy of your own Church, Temple, Altar, whatever.

My wife says that she does not want it done.

Would you really decide to prevent my immortal soul from being saved for all Eternity because of what my wife thinks?

Choose one answer below:

A. Save Polybius' immortal soul but anger his wife.
B. Deprive Polybius' immortal soul of a chance for Eternal Salvation but keep his wife from getting angry.
