I was raised in a fully evangelical tongue speaking, bible thumping, political shilling for george bush church, and I distinctly remember in bible school being made to accepet jesus into my heart as my savior over and over.

When I told the teachers I had already accepted him, they would make me do it again. Even at that young age (probably 6-8 years old) I was thinking logically, if accepting jesus as my savior gets me into heaven, why would I have to do it multiple times?

I'm a mystic now.

Fortunately it’s an idempotent operation. I think.

Don’t think too hard… there’s a rate limit. Unlike accepting your lord and saviour, which is unmetered! \o/
