They needn't justify it to anyone, it's their choice. But the problem comes when they expect other people who don't share any of their beliefs to live by the same arbitrary rules.
No! Fuck off. You wouldn't live by my arbitrary religion if I made one up, nor would you live by Muslim rules. So why should non Christians live by Christian rules? If they are only concerned about the fate of our eternal souls, then they can be concerned all they like on their own time without having to interfere. They can't think God is capable of doing his job if he needs the help of pissant thugs all the time.
On a related note, "Pissant Thugs" may be the name of my next band.
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.
