Unfortunately, it's the sacrifices of others ... starting with their own fucking godling.
Some morality -- let the big guy take the fall, all we have to do is pray and OBEY.
OBEY.
It's worse. The mantra is "trust and obey", like the hymn: "Trust and obey / for there's no other way / to be happy in Jesus / but to trust and obey."
Their entire religious philosophy is centered around the notion of turning off your own faculties and trusting in the Napkin and the church authorities who interpret it on their behalf, blocking out "the world's knowledge" in order to continue in their blind faith and unquestioning obedience.
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.
