clearly it is not irrational. it is a genuine thing which could happen.

it is of course highly improbable and unlikely beyond most fears. while i do not have figures i would imagine there are far more probable ways of dying (many of which i imagine are quite amusing, i once heard you are more likely to be killed by a donkey than an airoplane) but this does not make it irrational

it is rational because there is a genuine reason to fear it, that though it is improbable it is possible that it would happen to you and kill you

as many of the others said, it should be up to the yong people to believe and we shouldnt enforceit on them.

but hat doesnt mean we cant show them the door. i run several youth groups for my church and its been amazing just running these groups we have young people from both christian and nonchristian families. each week we have a short 5 minute talk on the bible and then we split into groups and just chat, chat about the talk, chat about howthey are just about anyhthing. and its been great they all seem to be really interested in god. and weve had a few people come to faith, which has been amazing.

its got to be this one. although i supose my opinion varies as to whether or not i am a member
