isn’t it, with all due respect, an insane thing to defend though?

like, if you decide to worship x or y you’re forgiven? that’s not really freedom. that’s actually some middle age shit that the clergy used to say to manipulate and control the people.

I can not explain more than to say that God desires to redeem His children. I can not describe what a relationship with God is like to one who thinks the whole enterprise is laughably ludicrous. To assume that it is license to commit remorseless tragedy with no consequence is, I think, rather ignorant. No offense.
