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.
• “Even the devil can quote scripture.”
