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.

Here ya go

I met David Giuntolli once about three/four years ago and forgot to ask him whether Flula was for real or not. I have vowed that if I ever happened to meet him again that I would discovered the truth of Flula.

Very nice talk about a bunch of topics, including art, consciousness, human identity, thought experiments and others.

It's a long read, but it's worth it.

30 minutes in. Fascinating conversation so far. I just knew I had to share this(even though it's not so recent - it's from 2012).
