C'mon, guys. Let's give her some benefit of the doubt. I don't sense willful dishonesty in this one, despite the accidental missteps when she first arrived here. It's easy to enter a community you aren't familiar with and make a faux pas or two. If we jump on everything she says with insults and derision, it gives a much worse impression of us than it does of her. She has tried to agree to ask honest questions and listen to answers, which is not troll behavior and deserves a bit more respect than I think we are showing her right now.
We cannot gripe at Christians for coming here and sounding arrogant and disrespectful unless we are willing to refrain from attacks until the person has proved to be a deliberate troll.
I can't make any demands of you guys, of course, but seriously... please chill out?

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
