Dude, I've known Christians for YEARS and they WILL NOT discuss these passages and ones like them with me - not the vast, vast majority, anyway. Again, they either don't know how to talk about them or they are so disturbing that Christians would rather not share the meaning with nonbelievers. I'm asking YOU to explain because you fucking blasted me, asshole, saying that I intentionally took passages out of context. Well, I'll take you for what you're worth - which is precisely nothing. You certainly know how to clam up when challenged, I'll give you that. I must say that you did exactly what I expected you to do, though I will not give up hope that one day things may change and I may be able to have real dialogue with a Christian who will actually talk to me. |
