I heard about a man once. He got on his knees, he begged God to expand his ministry, he wanted to serve God more. He waited… nothing happened… You see, he was assuming that anything God wanted to do would be easy; it would be natural; it would feel like singing praise music on a Sunday morning. Only, the truth was quite contrary. What God wanted of him, in order to achieve what he was asking, was going to feel shitty. It was going to be hard beyond what the man would think possible; it was going to be terrifying, well beyond anything he wanted; and ultimately, it was going to one of those things that all around sucks to do. He couldn’t see this though; why would God have him do something terrible like this? It must not be from God is it is like this. So, he waited forever, until he gave up. God never used this man to do anything great. I should like to talk with him when I die.
If apathy isn’t a lie, this darkness is light. It’s ironic. I say I can do nothing because I am not good, only God is good, but if I believe this then my own inaction becomes good, primarily because it is all I can do to follow God. How else would I follow him? So apathy must be a lie, a lie from Hell, or this darkness is light: and that cannot be.

Aron, Aron, Aron - forgetting Critical Reasoning already? You need to use MT my friend, and the form of your argument (at least in the last paragraph) is not right... If apathy isn't a lie, then this darkness is light. THIS DARKNESS IS NOT LIGHT, therefore apathy IS a lie. (MT).
A:apathy is a lie
M: some sort of moral state
A > (M.~M)
thats basicly what I said, and I know it, I was paying attention when I wrote it. I think that was the point though.
