The idea of an inter-galactic being who created everything way back in history strikes me as silly.  God understood psychologically fits in more ways than you'd care to admit.  So I guess any disagreement we end up in will be the result of our failure to agree to a common understanding of the most basic terms.  For me, this is entirely acceptable since a historical god interests me not at all.  But if you're interested in exploring the idea of a much more limited god, one that is internal instead of external, I'm here for you;.

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.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Nah, god would also have to pay cash.  He's supposed to have been coming back for two thousand years.

Would you trust him to write a cheque?

Hey, loan me two dollars 'til the next time I see you.

Shit, I kept my two dollars.

It wouldn't just be late... it would be ridiculously long and full of utter utter bullshit knowing 'Him'.
