Atheists: How can we expand and enhance the Mafia Boss Analogy?

    I LOVE that analogy by Matt Dillahunty. Just demonstrates the immorality of the Christian god. Go Matt! Next time when you get into an argument with a Christian, just make sure to keep that analogy in mind.

    Here is an analogy for the claim that we atheists send ourselves to Hell:

    Lets say you are walking down an alley, and then a person comes up to you. The person says that there is a robber that is pointing a gun at you and demanding your money. You look around and to your surprise, you see no one.

    You: "I'm not giving up any of my money, I see no threat."

    Person: "Trust me, hes there. You just have to believe."

    You then decide to walk away and all of a sudden, you get shot. Was that a suicide? No. You didn't send yourself to the grave, the robber did it. This same analogy applies to this claim that Christians make about God not sending you to Hell. So what do you think? Fair analogy?

    What makes you think it needs expanding and enhancing? Matt did a good job all on his own.
