RE: Exposing the Intellectual Bankruptcy of Atheists Criticizing Religion

Delicate has given a promise to try to treat everyone better. While I, too, remain skeptical, I think it's unfair to batter Delicate with the previous actions except as a way of expressing our reasons for said skepticism.
Let's give this a chance. If the evidence is that D isn't treating us decently, going forward, then we can return the favor...otherwise we're burning a bridge before it's built and frankly acting in a prejudicial manner little different from our complaints against Delicate.
So everyone, let's please relax and try to forge a new path. Please. That goes for both sides.

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.
