I would love to do a video series where I travel the world interviewing various types of religious fundamentalist, as they explain to me why I must conform to the local god-cult, and show a montage a la The Daily Show why they all sound exactly like one another, just with the details fiddled a bit. And every one would tell me that THEIR deity/scripture was REAL, while everyone else just made it up because that's what ignorant humans trying to explain things they don't understand do.
If I should win the lottery or something, RocketMan, I'd fund you. But only if you let me travel along and help with the recording!
Everyone knows that if the sponsor wants to work on the project, you hire them!!
Besides, I'd like to have you along.
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.
