GodSands Should Cease Discussing Religion on DDO for His Own Good

Any and all benefits that Con claims GodSands brings to other members are beside the point because the resolution clearly states that GodSands should leave for his own good. While his presence here may be viewed as a heroic act of self sacrifice, the resolution clearly has GodSands' own self interest in mind. The benefits to GodSands that improving his debating skills would bring are finite, so they cannot outweigh the infinite penalty of Hell. As long as there is a nonzero risk of Hell it is not in GodSands' interest to continue debating on this site whatever the worldly benefits may be. Furthermore, there is no evidence that GodSands debating skills have improved. on herself has emphasized GodSands complete inability to engage in a discussion even after repeated attempts by other members to help in do so. Even if there were no infinite penalty of Hell, GodSands is clearly better suited to serving God in other ways. Con herself has conceded that GodSands actually hurts the cause of Christianity with his extreme incompetence, yet another reason why it would be in his best interests to leave. To be honest, I don't think that Con got the point of my argument. GodSands believes that he will go to Hell if he becomes and atheist and he is maximizing his risk of becoming an atheist by coming to this site, thereby maximizes his chances of going to Hell. Because Hell is an infinite penalty, if GodSands is acting in his self interest he should do everything possible to avoid this risk. The fact that he might cease to believe in Hell should only worsen his present fears! GodSands is not presently an atheist so the fact that he wouldn't believe in Hell if he were is irrelevant. This is about his present decision making process. Should GodSands, a devout Christian, conclude now that there is no risk of Hell for becoming an atheist because if he were an atheist he would not believe in it? That would be completely illogical. It would be like me converting to Christianity for the purpose of getting into Heaven because if I believed in Christianity I would believe in Heaven. That doesn't give me a present motivation for converting because I don't presently believe in Heaven. Both GodSands and I would determine that our alternative selves would simply be in error and not making or current decisions on that basis. To recoup: going to Hell is an infinite penalty, and GodSands raises his chances of going to Hell by debating on DDO. The reason for this is because he regularly interacts with a large number of atheists with philosophically sound and well articulated views. They stand the highest chance of persuading him to abandon his religion and thus damn himself. He would have to purposely seek out an organization of atheist intellectuals to put himself in a worse spot than this. None of GodSands' beliefs even have to be true because I am only describing how he should rationally act based on his views. This isn't even a theological debate, it's a very simple application of game theory. If there exists an infinite penalty, one should do everything in one's power to minimize the risk of it. GodSands does the very opposite of this, and thus he should alter is behavior to align with his self interest.
