Salvation really upsets me.  Saying that you are "saved" is lke you are
making God's decision for him.  It is saying "Hey, I'm going to heaven"  Just
because of what you think God said.  If I were God and looking down on Earth,
the people who claimed to be certain they were going to heaven, I would
punish for their arrogance.  (Of course I don't believe punishment is right,
but if it were as your god thinks it is...)
