Non-believers call God a tyrant [for sending good people to hell]. Thing is, He isn't a tyrant to me...I'm going to heaven.

Yeah, didn't Christ say something like, "Blessed are those who kiss up to me, for they shall be let into heaven to do so for eternity, but tough luck for those who have too much personal integrity for that."
~David D.G.
On the rare occasions a spark of my belief cues up, I hold to a firm belief that saying "I'm going to Heaven" invalidates you from going, and that just shutting up and acting like the good person you claim to be lets you in.
Usually the spark then fades and I cease to give a damn.
"Communists call Hitler a tyrant [for sending useful Jews to Austwitch] Thing is, He isn't a tyrant to me... I'm going to the breeding-stations."
Sorry about the Godwin, but this was the best twist-o-words I could think of.
Damn, Gjervan beat me to it.
Epic Godwin? maybe. Accurate? Well, admittedly, not quite. After all, not even Auschwitz has anything on Hell.
non-Bathists call Saddam Hussien a tyrant [for executing people who disagree with him]. Thing is, He isn't a tyrant to me...I'm a member of the Bathist party.
Yeah, your logic totally carries over...
Same statement, different dictator:
Turks call Saddam a tyrant [for gassing their cities]. Thing is, he isn't a tyrant to me...my city wasn't gassed.
A king who quashes even the slightest dissent without remorse, executes and torments for even the smallest infraction, and who will only make life good for his closest sycophants remains a tyrant, even if you happen to be one of his eager sycophants. You may love him because of how nice he is to you but it doesn't how he is treating everyone else.
That's right, he can commit whatever atrocities he likes, as long as you personally are in the clear.
Nice Christian morality you've got there, muzikdude.
That's what most people don't like about your beliefs about your god. The truly evil people go to heaven, and the decent people go to hell, generally. So, you and your god fail.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
