F*** the governor and his pardon! Where's my f***ing lawyer in this clumsy analogy of yours?

How so? With age of accountability, the people in jail in the analogy are indeed there for their own crimes.
Because our 'crimes' are not asking for forgiveness for being born into 'original sin'. There is no age of accountability in this equation.
In fact, your analogy is worse than that. The sin for which we must petition forgiveness is supposed to be transgression against the governor of the prison. He takes the inmates - born, if you recall, in the prison - and tells them by proxy to beg him not to burn them, simply for being in there. Play the analogy game all you like, but don't pretend it represents anything even accidentally resembling justice.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

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.

If that's the case, it really pisses me off. 
I'm literally leaving right this moment to drive an AIDS patient to a doctor's appointment, as part of volunteer work I do with the local AIDS charity organization.
I'll be back in a couple of hours, perhaps less.
Sick sonofabitch, if he used pretendending he has AIDS just to make a point.

So.. he loves us... and he is willing to let us burn for eternity for not accepting someone dying... what the fuck. YES
if you think you're perfect then don't be scared of hell
Don't be scared of hell even if you're not perfect. If you trust that God loves you, then the least he could do is not ever have thought about you being in such a nightmarish place. Is God a loving father to you? How would he differ from an abusive parent if he has threatened you with hell at any point in time?
Give this some thinking before you answer. Don't rush.

The subject line is actually the motto of alot of sexual orientation camps.
They have it on every banner in Latin. Seriously, look it up.

Of course there is. Until the age of accountability, sin is covered. After that age is reached, everyone has their own sins to account for. You know that there are sins in the Bible other than "not asking for forgiveness," so this argument is a completely disingenuous attempt to save face.
