Now whenever they try to present their nonsensical argument as an undeniable fact, I just nod and smile then give them a "Yeah?" or "I see" like I'd do to a kid telling me about their imaginary adventures.
I'd agree 100%, except for the fact that those kids don't have the ability to try to shape the laws and society of my country to fit the whims of their imaginary friends.
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.
