Which is no one, so this isn't such a problem.
well,
for starters, that it's impossible is not an atheists problem. It's a fucking Christer problem. They have several. In fact, several times tens of thousands of problems. And a big tough shit to those Christers that get brain cramps from trying to follow a contradictory and confusing passel of crap from a supposed God who claims, among other things, to NOT be the author of confusion. The idea is, as the difficulties mount, the fog might start to lift a little bit in those tiny cramping Christer brains and they might start entertaining the idea they have bit into a shit sandwich instead of the One True Faith.
I, for one, note the Bible itself announces that ALL scripture is suitable, and the fucking Believers damn well better fucking believe that verse absolutely, else I am going to rub their noses in their hubris in knowing better than God about what is and isn't applicable.
We don't give them quarter or spot them points in a debate since their Scriptures are contradictory and impossible to follow, we instead point out that terminal failing of their faith and declare rightful victory.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
