Shouldn't we just set this guy up next to Drich or one of our other "True Believers™" and let them just duke it out?
I'm exhausted from watching Christians (well, all theists, but mainly Christians) come here and play the "you just don't understand the Bible/God/theology" game with their various interpretations, all asserting that if I just studied THEIR version, I'd finally get it.
Religious "Whack-a-Mole". As soon as you bang one version in the ground, and attempt to apply it to the next theist, nope! Their bull comes from another mole-hole on the other side of the table.

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.
