I've found that the most common fundie response to me bringing up an incriminating Bible passage is "ummm, I'm not familiar with that part of the Scripture. I'll look it up and get back to you." And of course, they never come back.
That problem isn't too hard to get around if you're talking to them face to face. Just carry around a copy of the bible, and when they say that they're unfamiliar with teh passage, whip out the copy and show them.

I love the "taking it out of context" excuse. I always use the same comeback: "OK, describe the context in which it's acceptable to commit mass murder of women and children."

Perhaps someone could go over the SB.com and demand The Ambassador come back to finish his ass raping.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Wasn't he the same guy who was convinced he was abducted by aliens at one point?
Don't hate; appreciate!

LMAO. Is he still posting his "arguments" on SB.com, or has he stopped posting those, or has he stopped posting altogether?

I love how he immediately came over here and announced that all of the people who believed in evolution were refusing to debate him because they were afraid/stupid/knew he was right. Now he's not even posting here in the debate. What a pussy. I hope he comes back so I can pound him a little, too.

Nah, it's in Lynchburg, Virginia. Seriously, that's where Falwell is. Lynchburg...kinda gives ya ideas, don't it?

At least I'm willing to come back and try to respond to Scripture I'm not familiar with :D . Unfortunately, that's a lot of Scripture :oops: . I still haven't had an upper-level NT theology course (I'm purposely avoiding Paul...can't stand most of his theology), and my OT course only covers the Prophets. With any luck the prof'll be offering a class on the Dead Sea Scrolls next spring. Only hard part will be fitting that in with my Economics courses...I've got Calculus, Microeconomics, and Macro Theory next semester, and I'll need three more classes for the major in spring :( .
