Hey guys, I finally got Ron to admit that he really does believe in 
"might makes right".  

RON
 Exactly right. He has the power, like it or not.

BRIDEAN
So you DO believe in might makes right.  

RON
  The fact is that He has the power to do it anyway He wants. 
Fortunately for us, He loves us and gives us the choice of eternity WITH 
Him or eternity WITHOUT Him. You choose the result! 

BRIDEAN
1) Prove that WE choose and not Him (bet you can't).
2) What do you mean by "choice"?
3) Given a definition of "choice" what do you mean by 'choosing Him'
    or 'not choosing Him'?
4) I take it since you didn't really answer the statement that you DO
   believe in "might makes right" I guess you are saying that this
   statement is really true.

RON
  Yes, in this case Might makes right. What you are leaving out of the 
equation is that God is the ALL-Mighty! Therefore He determines what is 
right in all situations. Lesser beings (that's all of them) do not have 
the authority to contradict Him. Your "choice" is fairly simple; eternal 
life or eternal death.
