What? I haven't insulted anyone
He quoted my reply, so I presume he meant me. I did indeed insult many of his ideas, and questioned his sanity (where he had advocated for the idea that making a rape victim marry her attacker so she'd be provided for, instead of a "burden" on her family as an un-marriage-able non-virgin, was moral), among other related comments.
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.
