Slogan 5: "Sincere people will be okay" — sincerity is not a sufficient standard

Stop Saying All Roads Lead to God! 00:46:30 – 00:48:03

Fourth slogan addressed

Two problems: (1) Sincere people should not always be okay — the 9/11 terrorists were absolutely sincere; they sacrificed more for their cause than most people sacrifice for anything. Sincerity is not a moral trump card. (2) People are generally not sincere — we are frequently self-deceived. But even granting universal sincerity as a hypothetical, the real problem is not insincerity; it is that humans are not good. This bridges to the final slogan.
