For the fraction of a second it took me to reread it as "interpret" I imagined a random man dressed in a white t-shirt and tan shorts running into a church mid-sermon and screaming "THERE IS NO GOD!!!". He would stand frozen pointing at the priest with a look of utter intensity on his face for around five seconds with the entire congregation staring back at him with a mixture of offence and confusion. He would then run off back the way he came giggling.
Once I realized that this video did not actually exist anywhere except in my imagination I died a little inside.
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.
