California ban on high capacity magazines declared unconstitutional

RE: California ban on high capacity magazines declared unconstitutional
I don't think you understood my comment so I will clarify . Now pay attention . 

Often apologists claim you can't criticize the bible because you don't understand the terms in . Seriously this isn't complicated .

Um apologists exist in every religion, not just Christianity. 

"You don't understand" is an argument I have gotten from Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists too.

All of that translates to, "If you simply swallow and not question, you will feel as giddy as I do."

Could you have done better ? when referring to the Christian gods many fuck ups

Still waiting for examples of some terms.

So tell me what some of these terms are.

He's not arguing terms. He is saying those who come up to him and make claims cant back up the parameters they put forth. The parameters change on a dime. 

Once when I was a kid, I went to a neighbor's kids house, to play chess, never having done it before. So he sits up the pieces knowing I didn't know how play. On his very first move he takes a back row piece moves it all the way to my back row, and knocks off one of my pieces. That didn't seem right to me at the time, I complained, but he said it was a lagit move, even though looking back now, I knew it was bullshit.

Religion works the same way. I don't mean one, but all. While I love liberal theists, even they change their parameters when they get cornered on issues of logic.

Gun thread script...

Someone mentions guns...doesn't matter the context...can be the shooting of clay pigeons.

Brian's chain is yanked and he bleats repeatedly...instead of baa...liberal use of um.

Someone, anyone, doesn't agree with Mr. Rational's emotional blather....Nazis, world wars, etc.

Zilla shows up to protect Big Bri's feels with stories of his super hero-dom as a chorus sings 'what about the children' in the background for more tug on emotions.

Nothing gets solved.

Thanks for mentioning the NRA.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

My chain is yanked, and yet we still have an average of 100 of our fellow citizens die from gun violence every single day.

I don't know what your priorities are, but sad if you think it is me.

Somewhat

Me the bible says this

Theist -You don't understand it's all super super complicated and you need a degree to criticize my holy book

Or

Theist - You don't understand what that passage "really " means you have to read 500 apologist books to understand this one passage 

Usually this is a tactic that's used to deflect from what the actual passage onto your qualifications on the bible or to imply their must be some higher cryptic understanding that makes the nonsense in the passage make sense.This is usually coupled with BS about revelation or "reading it under the influence of the holy ghost " yada yada
