Atheists, if someone offered you a hundred dollars to accept Christ as your Saviour and to start going to church and reading the Bible, would you do it?
I can answer this question in three ways, all sarcastic but with a serious point.
The first is this:
Christians, if someone offered you a hundred dollars to convert to Islam, doing the hajj, and read the Qur’an, would you do it?
If you feel insulted by such a question, that’s the point.
The second is this:
Christians, if someone offered you a hundred dollars to genuinely believe in Santa, could you do it?
I mean, really believe in a bearded red-dressed chimney-jumping jolly fat man going ho-ho-ho from a flying sleigh pulled by magic reindeer.
Can you believe it?
And the third is this:
Your offer is nowhere near my hourly rate.
If you are trying to bribe me or pay me to do that, you have to pay competitive prices.
For that, I would go to church, read the Bible, and generally appear to have accepted Christ.
And I would do my utmost best to stay in character so that you would not be able to tell whether I was faking or not.
But then you have to pay for it.
How about you?
