You can only join if you sufficiently illustrate the pragmatic solution to Randal's Quandary:
RQ:
Randal is a dead man. He remembers dying, as it was extremely painful (he fell off a cliff and on the way down his arm tore apart from being snagged on a tree or whatever). In any case, his arm is restored, and instead of mush in the ground Randal is now a regularly proportioned man.
Randal is now found floating towards a large ball of light -- it is God it is, and Randal, being a sentient being despite having no physical form, perceives this without the use of his brain. In any case, he also sees this without having physical optics, but he feels that his body is intact, though it has no form.
As Randal approaches the ball of light, his metaphysical questions of existence, the possibility of encased human consciousness (ie souls) and other such ideas are tossed aside by one question:
"Randal, assume that I am all powerful and you are not. We both exist in the same plane of existence. One cannot enter heaven if one has committed suicide, as one's actions in life determine the afterlife. You however, have committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. Given the above four premises, how is it possible for you to enter heaven?"
Randal utters a single sentence and all is well in the world. What did he say?
We elitists are too good for this.

Oooh. O_O I can have lots of theories on this one.
"No, I fell off the cliff, really."
"I'll give you a tenner if you let me in~"
"Please?!?!?!?!"

PG, does Randel say "I am God" I am thinking along the lines of pantheism put to an extreme.
Why don't you people read the first sentence?

Sorry about that...
I'm the simpleton you talk about, and I'm okay.

Maybe Randal DENIES being dead. "I'm not dead."
Wait....'God' says that they are both on the same plane of existense meaning they are intertwined and therefore are one being. He says 'one' cannot enter heaven if one has commited suicide. long shot. I think its the sentence 'God doesn't exist' as pragmatists believe that for something to be true it must contribute to human good over a period of time. Now God said he is all powerful and therefore he could have stopped all the human violence, death etc. by not doing that 'God' does not exist. So if he says 'God doesn't exist.' He will get into heaven. Im really tired and that was the best explanation I could think of. Ill think about it tommorow and if its wrong ill come up with something different.
I'm too good to post in this thread you lowlifes. HAHAHAHAHAHA....
