She'll sell a bunch of "My Courageous Fight for My Imbecilic Theocrat Notion of Christianity" books, and militant atheists will have another nice hunk of rhetorical ammo to drag up for arguments that change nobody's mind. Everybody else, yes, will move on to something else by and by.
      Christians don't do what they do to gain the respect of the crowd. That's what politicians do. Christians do what they do because it's what God says. I really don't know where you get your crazy ideas. Does your church teach you that crap?

      • It's amazingly coincidental that what "god" says so often corresponds with somebody's prejudices/bigotry

        "God told me to hate muslims"
        "How did he tell you that?"
        "Well, I hate muslims, so obviously god told me to hate muslims"

          Christians don't hate people.

            • ‘'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'”
              Nothing further needs to be added to the true Christian position.

              • Whenever I quote that I'm told that the Devil can cite scripture for his purpose, because apparently Shakespeare trumps the Bible (when convenient)

                • Shakespeare trumps all bibles except for the King James bible.

                  • Oh, also, non-Christians are not allowed to criticize self-described Christians. Obviously Christians may criticize whoever they want.

                        Christians sin. They have to repent. I pray for all Christians that they repent. If this lady hates anyone I pray that she repents for her sin. But not obeying man's law is not necessarily a sin. Ester broke man's law.

                            If they are lording over them they are not allowed to criticize.

                            • At any rate. She thinks she is obeying the law. My only point was that Christians shouldn't do or not do something to gain the favor of the crowd, and it's not right to join in on such a Christian.

                                You won't catch me defending Kim Davis or whatever gibberish Kid is pushing here, but there is a rationale to this part, at least in the context of quoting the Bible. Your average Fundamentalist Evangelical Whatsit is ignorant of any number of things, but the Bible is typically not one of them. He reads the Bible daily. He reads it for fun. He goes to Bible study on weekday nights after a hard day at work. And when he's not reading the Bible, he's reading inspirational quotes from the Bible or books by people quoting the Bible or even extended commentary on specific books of the Bible by famously dead and humorless individuals like John Calvin who spent half their lives reading it till they went bat**** insane. His entire worldview is based on a specific school of scriptural interpretation, which he may call "literal" but is in fact based on a number of specific assumptions, many of them unconscious. But you may be fairly certain that it all makes cohesive sense to him.

                                The average person criticizing said F.E.W., by contrast, is a relatively secular person either repeating a verse he remembers from Sunday School or quoting from GodSucksLOL's Facebook feed. F.E.W. could try to explain how that one verse you picked out fits into his complicated tangle of a worldview, but he knows from experience that you are no more interested in his understanding of Scripture than he is interested in your particular brand of rational materialism or whatever. Your response, no matter what he says, will be to roll your eyes and accuse him of trying to explain away a contradiction. The same as he would do to you if you tried to correct his grotesque distortion of a scientific study he thinks "disproves" evolution.

                                So Shakespeare it is.
