We're getting the "no true Christian" fallacy again:

Yes, of all the religions in the world, only that one is pure and good. :eyes:

"WWJD? He would have shown his tits."

That's classic. I laughed my ass off.

...but likely to soon be deleted.

Really amazing comments. We get accused of "picking and choosing," but doing that is the ONLY way you can discover that magical Lib'rul Jesus of theirs.

My other favorite is "out of context." When you've just been advised that following Jebus means you should HATE your entire family...well, I'm not sure how many contexts you can make up to re-interpret that.

That JeeZus sure was a funny guy. He was apparently capable of plain, straight talk whenever he was running his mouth about Peace And Love And Charity.

But when he starts telling you to hate your family or cut off your own limbs, all of a sudden everything becomes a Deep And Impenetrable Metaphor which belongs in some other mysterious "context."

6. If it does get deleted, that would be a shame.
I wanted to give you a thumbs up on that post, onager. Perfectly stated - don't DARE criticize others for "picking and choosing" when that's EXACTLY what they have to do.

5. You're all a bunch of religious bigots.
Hateful, just hateful.

Sorry I gotta post and run, busy day.

edited to add I'm kidding, no need to unnecessarily smite anymore of my posts.

9. True Christian = Ala Carte Christian
Isn't it interesting that True Christians(R) seem to strip out the icky parts of the Bible to arrive at their criteria. The better term is Ala Carte Christian. They pick and choose which parts of their religious tome is the Word of God, and which is just a metaphor that you damn atheists are taking out of context.
