Edit to Add: I mention my Beloved because meeting her, and thus telling the ex I was no longer interested in even possibly pursuing the old relationship, seems to be what triggered her to go to police.
Further Addendum: Even with 30 years, I was only "required" to serve ~7 1/2 years of it (25% of sentence) as a minimum, but the Parole Board felt that my refusal to admit guilt indicated a, quote, "Failure to take responsibility for my actions", so they recommended/ordered that I serve 66%, or 20 out of the 30.

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.
