Brian's Paradox
From Religions Wiki
Brian's Paradox occurs when all outcomes result in theists winning. It was coined by Tracie Harris and is inspired by the Monty Python movie The Life of Brian.
- Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!
- Girl: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.
- Brian: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!
- Followers: He is! He is the Messiah!
Alternative version[edit]
Whereas Brian's Paradox is specifically theistic, it can also be expressed neutrally as "Heads I Win, Tails you Lose".
