=The argument= | |||
The meme at the top right of this page represents the fundamental principles outlined in Christianity which can lead to this scenario. | |||
The non-Christian simply asks the question after one reads the meme: '''Is this fair?''' | |||
And of course, as presented, it isn't fair. | |||
The reasoning behind the meme: A person is saved when they repent and believes, which could happen with a rapist or murderer. But a person is condemned if he or she doesn't believe, as in the example of the rape victim who dies in an unbelieving state. | |||
=Is this argument valid?= | |||
The meme and the argument presented have a couple of significant problems. | |||
==Straw man argument== | |||
