Likewise, you can't say the bible WAS written by God unless you are omnipotent. Works both ways, AiG.


I'll go with my IRL fundy evangelical lady who quite literally (and with a straight-face) advocated for marital rape.

Me and you both, except moving isn't in the cards for me. Sad

That's probably one of the stupidest things I've ever seen, if not the stupidest.

Oh lord, now that you mention it, I actually remember hearing that one!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Some more choice cliches I've heard:

"You can't discuss the Bible, because you are unable to read it through spiritual eyes."

"If the Bible isn't the truth, then why has God preserved and protected it for all these years, making it the number-one best selling book in the history of the world?"

(This one's a little more fundamental Baptist-centric) "God preserved his word as a blessing to the English speaking people through his King James translation. If there were to be translation errors, God would have stepped in and intervened to prevent them."
