The more I think about this, Huggy, the more I'm afraid your position pisses me off.
You seem college-educated. Did you not have classes which talked about African-American history, including the fact that a significant number of the Jim Crow laws were pushed by bigots who used the "they're going to rape your daughters" narrative to make people shut down their empathy and reasoning centers against a hated minority?
You really don't understand how this parallels history? Or do you just pretend not to see it?

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.
