This is why I get so frustrated by the fundies who ask "where is your documentation?", but don't want to actually read the books, take the classes, and apply the amount of work it would take in order to understand the subject... they never provide proof of their own claims, expecting us to take them on fiat and complaining when we demand those proofs before accepting the claims, but when the situation is reversed, when you finally get tired of their requests for you to provide FOR them what is available to them in any library in the United States (and much of it online, nowadays), you already know they'll just ignore it as if you hadn't presented anything.
I sometimes think fundies exist just to make smart people develop facial tics.

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.
