Cheating in the Church of Reality refers to a dishonest argument or kind of behavior where a person expects a shortcut or pass when none is deserved.Examples of cheating include:
- Absolution from Sin - There is no deity that is going to clean up after you and expunge your {ln:Karmic Record).
- God did it - The argument that anything that can't yet be explained scientifically is the work of a deity.
- God told me to do it - Can't blame your actions on the deity or enhance something that you accomplished by inferring an alliance with a deity.
- Definition Twisting - In order to explain away contradictions definitions of words are twisted and switched. An example would be "Maybe God means the universe and the universe exists, therefore God exists.
- Credit but not Blame - If God saved someone from the plane crash, then why did he allow the plane to crash in the first place?
