I'm tired of arguing No True Scotsman with each one, both insisting that they have the Only Right Version of Christianity™, and that when I try to sum up what the Christian view of something is, they pull out the "you just don't understand Christianity and that's why you're an atheist" bullshit.
It's exhausting trying to keep up.
"No, we don't believe in purple polka-dotted unicorns, we believe in red and blue striped unicorns! You just don't understand anything about our doctrines! Stupid atheist!!!"
Define 'No true Scotsman.'

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.
