How Do We Respect Other People's Beliefs?
#77
RE: How Do We Respect Other People's Beliefs?
I'd say the frequent threats of being burned alive endlessly and for all eternity, among other fun suggestions made to me and to children every day as a means of mafia-esque intimidation into compliance with The Boss (eh, uh mister, you'd better do what Boss says... I'd hate to see anyone get their kneecaps broke aroun' here, capiche?), is a million times worse than the most impressive/offensive combination of "bad words" I could even potentially muster.
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.
