Imagine that you're trying to shoot a baby

No I don't think that I will.

In order to verify that this wasn't a coincidence, I would need to repeat the experiment on multiple babies.

No, but I'd definitely put that necklace on anyway. Not like the baby knew anything about religion, but it still worked for him; should work for me, too.

No. I'd just wear the cross to become invincible.

What do Christians think atheists spend their time doing?

you're trying to shoot an indestructible christian baby

I really want to know why I would be trying to shoot said baby in the first place. Is it the antichrist? Am I being blackmailed? Is this some sick bet?

Needs a Christian to even come up with the idea to shoot at a baby....

Funny how they keep relying on impossible hypotheticals.

They get weirdly intricate with their baby death fantasies

That depends, if I shoot the baby and they die immediately, as if they took a shotgun blast to the face, would you become an atheist?

Maybe don't shoot the baby?

Why would I be shooting a baby with a shot gun?

I'm an evil atheist, but Christians want to shoot babies with shot guns. Seems legit.

Wtf??

I mean... Why did the God not protect the baby anymore? Is the crucifix a required magic catalyst or something to get Gods protection? Do we have any known cases where the catalyst was not needed?

I think I'm closer to solving the riddle of Gods power...

Just because the amulet of protection in the shape of a crucifix doesn't mean it has anything to do with god. Wizards are mischievous.

Nothing scarier that someone who believes in shit they can't see that encourages them to be violent.

What happens when the baby turns to red mist? Is that just "part of God's plan"?

Got a few issues with this one.

1. Nobody goes out trying to shoot indestructible christian babies with a shotgun. They're indestructible and shells cost money.
2. Is having the cross forcefully removed supposed to make the baby no longer christian, indestructible, or "christian indestructible" (and if so, what's that?)?
3. Would converting therefore involve or require equipping the amulet I've looted off the now dead baby? And if so, will I lose my christian indestructibility if I take it off?

In essence, would you change your religion if it gave an attunement bonus to something you wore (and perhaps have looted off a murdered faithful)?

Tbf, it'd be worth the shitload in church tax I'd then have to pay... if it worked. Which is the trouble with these religious relics anyway, eh?

I haven't build my identity around not believing in gods. Show me compelling evidence and I'll reconsider. Shotgun pellets bouncing off a baby would definitely offer food for thought.

the question is designed to trick anyone who engages with it into conceding that they would shoot a baby, and then they can turn around and say "atheists want to shoot babies"

wouldnt it be the anti-christ, since hes technically indestructible. jesus can be killed by normal humans.

I’d dislike a god even more choosing to allow such a test to proceed. It’s a variant on the “Trolley Problem”.

What kind of god would sacrifice an infant to prove belief instead of just popping in with a booming voice and saying “Yes, I’m real you morons!” to prove it?

Nothing about that cruel suggestion makes any sense. Why did it need to a baby, why can't it be trying to shoot the idiot making this insane suggestion who volunteers to wear a necklace and be shot.

Counter-offer: same scenario to the ignorant Christian who is shit-posting, but the necklace is of Ra, the Egyptian Sun God. Let's see if he would convert. Moron.

They have atheists and vampires confused I think

If shotgunning a baby is what it takes to discover immortality...

Old testament god seemed to be pretty good and offing kids so this tracks

I'd probably start believing in magic necklaces. Then I'd start down a dangerous path of experimentation to test the limits of the necklace's invulnerability enchantment.

Probably not. Lots of people die while wearing crosses, so it’s probably something other than the religious symbology keeping the baby safe.

It's christians who kill babies. Gaza, Iran, and the grandaddy of them all-the Oklahoma Federal Building.

I’d need to put the talisman on an animal, and on an inanimate object, to confirm if the power is faith-based, or intrinsic.

If it’s intrinsic, it’d test if the amulet itself is indestructible, to see if it can be sent to the center of the Earth so our planet becomes indestructible.

God didn't stop me from taking it off the baby despite knowing I was going to kill it, so no.
