    My favorite is when you point out all the shit from their Bible, they don’t follow, and they hit you with “oh that’s from the old testament, and Jesus did away with all of that.”

    I’m also always amused at the concept of a perfect infallible being not getting it right the first time and having to push out the revised new testament.

      “oh that’s from the old testament, and Jesus did away with all of that.”

      Except for the one little verse that says gay people are bad. That part of the Old Testament still applies somehow because reasons.

      I’m also always amused at the concept of a perfect infallible being not getting it right the first time and having to push out the revised new testament.

      I think the intended idea here is that God is guiding humanity like a parent raises their children and you need different rules for different stages of development, but that would mean growth and change are actually good things and the Fundies really don’t like that.
