I did a political compass test and I got extremely close to (pretty much exactly the same) fr0ds too.

Lots of Christians are non-assholes. We just don't hear from them even a remote fraction as often.
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.

Of course... it's not all about post count.
Yeah, keep telling yourself that.
Has Cathy not been around lately? She posted in the SURVIVOR thread last week and I got a kudos from her just a couple days ago. I thought I saw that she took a new job and figured that when she was on AF that she disappeared into the mafia threads.

She seems to be a little bit afraid when her faith is challenged. Should do aa bit of reflection, if our challenges disturb her.
She didn't seem like a scaredy-cat in some of the threads I saw of hers. Defensive, perhaps, but she stuck 'em out (the ones I saw)
