I say this one's a keeper.
Makes me miss guys like the pastor, Zoebion, and his brother, from the other forum, when they would stand up to fundamentalists and patiently explain what evolution actually was to people who tried to claim it was a product of atheism. I still talk to them on Facebook... had a great discussion about Matthew, just last night.

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.
