Why would you want to 'stump' anybody?

People tend to make decisions based on what they believe. Voting for a politician to office for faith based reasons is not wise and effects almost all of us. And for other obvious reasons too I have an interest in getting people to think about why we believe what we believe. So making Christians think twice about how and where they get answers from can be fun, but I'm not mean unless they're mean to me first, and even then I'll give them more than one chance to be nice.

Oh to live in beautiful Bosnia... Tongue

Depend on how you define it:

Quote:bastard
noun

1.  a person born of unmarried parents; an illegitimate child.

(emphasis is mine)

While Mary may have been married, she was not married to gawd. The bastard children of royalty were frequently born to women who were married. They remained bastards.

All post #21 showed is that you don't know what a bastard is.

RE: Stump the Christian?
There is one sure fire way to stump a Christian. Climb into their garden and cut their tree down with a chainsaw. Any chainsaw will do, but I recommend the logic-bastardiz0r 3000.

I've heard some objections to this plan, so I'll cover them here. What if they don't have a tree in their garden? Well, you need to plant one. What if they don't have a garden? You need to buy them a property with a garden, and then convince them to move into it. Make sure it already has a tree in it to save time.

I think there were some objections on moral grounds but I couldn't hear them over my chainsaw.

Bosnia is a beautiful place.  TBH...it reminds me of Tennessee, lol.  
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

South Eastern from my geographical perspective. With Sarajevo being the deathbed of our colonial age.
