My I introduce the reverse loophole.

Blaspheme against the holy spirit, that piece of shit.

Doing so is the only unforgivable sin. Do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Straight to hell with you and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Not even their god. By blaspheming against the holy spirit, that fake garbage, you are putting up the shield against christians. They can't save you, you have no reason to convert, it is a waste of their time...please leave me alone.

Now, if anyone can give me reverse loopholes for other religions, that would be great.

Fuck your gods, all hail Satan!

That might work for most

Technically that doesn't even work with christianity. You have to very specifically blaspheme against the holy spirit, who is most definitely a child rapist on the Epstein list. You can call their god whatever name you want, deny Jesus, worship any form of metallic idol you want - you still can get through the door to heaven. It takes a special kind of statement - like saying the holy spirit isn't even real and only exists because whatever man made it all up was accused of copying off of some other religion and just made up even more bullshit so their "nuh uh" had more weight.

That's not what the blaspheming of the Holy Spirit is at all.

Oh, it isn't? What's your definition if not Merriam-Webster's? Or do we look to the holy spirit for the definition? Because in my understanding that thing can't even spell much less string together a coherent definition of what it means to blaspheme.

Traditionally, blaspheming the holy spirit is taken as denying the existence thereof. As soon as you believe in it and convert to christianity, the sin no longer exists and is 'forgiven.' The reason it is "unforgiveable" is because you literally cannot ask for forgiveness and to "receive christ in your heart" without believing in it.
