That depends. Who am I to question your brother's overwhelming power and control over my life? If he's that much greater than I am, perhaps I deserve what I get because I'm a bad person and chose to willfully disobey you (the prophet who informed me of your brother's wrath in store for me if I disobey, of course). I was given a chance to obey you him, and I chose to ignore it. Clearly, then, your brother has no option but to delete all my data.
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.
