Inspired by Darth Wong's fundie phrase dictionary, I was wondering what type of common catch phrases apologists use, and what they really mean after its been "translated"
For examples
catch phrase
We are being persecuted
translation
We are not allowed to force our beliefs on other people
catch phrase
Christianity grew up (in reference to an old SB.com thread where apologist hand waves away Christian atrocities in the past)
translation
Oher factors prevents Christians persecuting others
catch phrase
The Church helped the development of science (based on the fact that some early scientist were Christians)
translation
Science advanced despite interference from the Church
catch phrase
I am for the family
translation
I am a homophobic bigot
catch phrase
love the sinner but hate the sin
translation
Persecute him
