Am I nuts? I like Jesus..:)

Forget the cloaking, Kevin.  Get your shields up.  Those are scriptures he's tossed your way.

Quoted scripture can simply bounce off the hull.  Shields aren't necessary.

Real talk: I'm always baffled by theists quoting their holy books at us.  Do they actually think it's compelling?

We don't believe in your god.  Throwing out quotes mined from your particular instruction manual doesn't lend credibility or veracity to the content within.  It doesn't bolster your argument, and it sure as hell doesn't buoy an inherently flawed analogy.

But, hey, since we're throwing out quotes, here's some word salad to get your motor running:

"Transglobal spectacle with postmortem fame,
Popsicle cannibal,
Can you hear me?
Rainbow dementia smiles,
Everyone smiles,
The small realities,
A pixie play land...." Orgy, "Where's Gerrold?"

Whenever scripture is quoted at me, it simply registers as gibberish much like the quote above.  At least the song has a pretty cool guitar riff, which is more than Jesus can claim.

Well that (my bolded) would depend on how out-there this one's beliefs might be.  Many here in the states are fundies who believe the bible is the revealed word of God, like it still had a little of the burning bush in it.  For them they probably do think it is like an incantation capable of melting our hardened hearts, yada yada yada.

But yeah scripture is to conversion what a limp dick is to rape, entirely ineffectual.
