Christians do sometimes put their Holy Bible to bizarre use.

Originally posted by FMFRight! With the people that agree with you. The rest of us, especially Christians, you do just the opposite. Your pseudo intellectual hypocrisy is glaringly apparent to anyone that can read.

Originally posted by josephwI know that using the Bible to try to land punches on a fellow Christian's chin on an internet forum by mentioning "Satan" and "the False Prophet" and people being enemies of God etc. etc. is a shabby and obscene use to which to put "holy scripture". I was a Christian for long enough to know that, for sure. 😉

You don't really know what you think you know.
Originally posted by FMFYou're projecting your bias. You're the one trying to land punches, but you do it in a more subtle way. Thing is you probably don't realize you're doing it, which is all the sadder.

If you had ever really been a Christian you'd remember why you became one, and you'd have never forgotten why.
