Let's just say there are parts of me if the Biblical law was enacted, I would be killed for even thought I didn't do anything wrong, because of my traits. And Your religion looks down on my natural trait, which I can't change. and I would go straight to hell if your god was real, no safeguard no way to repent, just straight to hell. just because of who I am.
