When someone uses the Bible to justify their hate or bigotry, it’s very easy to throw back in their face. They never believed any of it — especially not anything that radical leftist Jesus taught — it’s a tool that represents whatever they want for their manipulative, selfish, self-centered purposes. What is written there doesn’t matter. It never did.
Watch as they dismiss you anyway, with greatest hits like:
“That’s not what {$DENOMINATION} teaches.”
“That’s just heretical.”
”So your interpretation is right but everyone else is wrong?”
”You’re taking it out of context”, especially after you just added context to a thing they were deliberately taking out of context.
I find it sad to fall back on 2000 year old literature to justify our behavior.
