We had a guy here - and I shit you not - who, when I pointed out that bit to him, claimed that Jesus personally told him he could ignore that part.

HAHA! Not the most creative way to wiggle around that one!

How about this one...

Quote:Now that is very different from telling someone that they shouldn't dare to call anything wrong. In fact, such reasoning will ultimately lead to calling evil good and good evil. This is because evil cannot be called evil, since such labeling is judgmental. Good is considered evil, because those who are endeavoring to do good by calling something else wrong, are guilty of judging. How could any court of justice operate if all judgment without exception were considered wrong? All criticisms of anything would have to be withheld on the basis that such critiques are judgmental in nature.
