Bomb Flower Whatever

There are three people. And there is a box.

The Bomb-believer believes that there is a bomb in the box that will explode when the box opens. So he finds a place of protection.
The Flower-believer believes that there is a flower in the box. So this believer goes near the box.
The Whatever-believer doesn't care about what's in the box. So this believer ignores the box.

Concerned, the bomb-believer calls the other believers to come into the place of protection. They did not want to go over. He explains to the other believers why it is very likely that there is a bomb in the box to the other two. The flower-believer doesn't want to listen. Saying that the bomb-believer is terrible, for saying everyone will die, except the bomb-believer. The flower-believer asserts that everyone can go on believing whatever they want. As for the Whatever-believer, he just shuts his ears, because he doesn't want to bother with what's in the box.

The bomb-believer could not get the rest to listen.
Finally, the flower-believer opens the box.

If there is a flower in the box, the flower-believer gets the flower! All is good!

But
If there is a bomb in the box, both the flower-believer and the whatever-believer dies.
Only the bomb-believer, who is in the place of protection, lives.

The truth is the truth, whether you believe it or not. 

The choice is yours.
When the possible consequences are so great, do you want to risk ignoring the box?

"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)
