That's the thing isn't it TV?
When you get to that point with someone, you have reached the end of their knowledge on the subject.  It hardly inspired confidence when they are trying to tell you how to live your life.

God knows better than you
is the typical response... similar to a parental 'Because I said so."  But what the speaker fails to realize is, that also means he knows better than them and they don't have the whole picture.  So perhaps they would be best advised to shut up, live their life according to their beliefs and let me do the same.

Ben, I added that part about hell to show how dumb it is
I don't think parents actually tell their kids that.  Hopefully it sounds shocking to hear it and people will look at their own lives.  If you wouldn't say something mean or ridiculous like that to your kids, why would you let anyone say it to you?

Actually...
some parents just give up and say "Because I said so" or "Because I told you so" in response to all those "whys." But you're right - in religion, you hit a wall. Sheeple are just expected to follow along blindly, on pain of mortal sin, without thinking about it.
