And I am sometimes jealous of the selective ignorance that some people can wield with out guilt or shame concerning a topic the just jump into.
Me... Before I speak I must read back to where a given subject matter starts so I can formulate a proper response. However most don't share this burden or dedication to honesty. They can just read one or two lines and 'know' or at least pretend to know who and what they are talking about.
Ehh? What the frak makes you think that I haven't been following this conversation all along?
The one time I jumped ahead without reading all of it, I specifically said I had done so. (And I read the rest immediately afterward... finding nothing worthy of altering my original post.) You've now taken that one incident, which I was honest about, and are using it to presume I do this all the time?
Tsk, tsk.
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.
