'Shower thought: If Christianity is true, then being aborted is like winning the lottery'
 

Think about it - you start to exist without consciousness and you die without consciousness. You never experience any form of suffering, because you are not physically able to feel the pain. You are going straight to heaven, because you have no opportunity to sin in any way. You don't even have a birth sin because well... you weren't born. You never experience human existence, you are just "born" in heaven and live in the perfect world from the beginning - like Adam and Eve would have if they hadn't sinned. In Christianity, that's the best position you could be in.

But then, there's also the darker side of it. If you want to create the highest amount of those sinless sufferless beings, you could... get abortions as frequently as you can. The problem is, it will send YOU to hell. In that scenario the woman who would do that would be an ultimate martyr, who would sacrifice her own soul to create many infinitely happy children...

This thought is short and sweet. Saw it and figured others here might appreciate this view as well. This was a to-me-novel way to look at what might be a somewhat fundamental incoherence at the core of Christianity, maybe some of you will be inclined to argue against.

This also ties into something I've been thinking about lately, that there might be very few "true" christians who do not just believe if belief, but truly fully believe what they preach. Maybe with very heavy compartmentalization and low enough self-reflection it can happen, but the concept of heaven seems to cause some issues.

Here is another: if someone truly believes in heaven, they should take much fewer steps--than what their revealed preferences betray--to avoid dying. On a long enough time horizon, evolution might make sure that, of heaven, only belief-in-belief can persist, the others select themselves out.
