Hey everyone, I have a question!
|
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.  RE: Hey everyone, I have a question!

Plagiarism is probably not appreciated in a speaking contest
 Write your own damn speech. If you want to quote famous atheists, that's what quotations are for.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
His assignment is to give someone else's speech, like we recited the Gettysburg Address in HS.
Is this not so?

Well, in that case...

This one is a helluva lot longer than five minutes, but perhaps you could excerpt a few paragraphs, or use the speech as a kind of framework for your presentation:
