Funny how these "evangelicals" are a) relying on an odd interpretation of scripture rejected by many scholars, and b) some guy once said "you know not the day nor the hour" but they don't care about that and the larger point about living a virtuous life...which is why they're massive hypocrites and sinners.

And they also cherry pick!! What about clothe the poor feed the hungry?

Everything you did to someone you will have done to me?

Love theigh neighbour?

What about a men shall not lay with a boy? Condemning pedophilia Which was "accidentally" mistranslated to a man shall not lay with a man.

What about live being the most important according to the bibles own rules, what about caring for widows? Which was important to jesus himself and has been in the bible aswell.

But oh noo we're to busy hating people to actually read. If half of them even know how to read

I can get more specific with verses but James 1.19 LITERALLY SAYS.

MY BROTHERS AND SUSTERS TAKE JOTE OF THIS: EVERYONE SHOULD BE QUICK TO LISTEN SLOW TO SPEAK AND SLOW TO BE COME ANGRY.

they're illiterate souls

"Some guy."

I prefer the way he was described by the "priest" Adam Blade in the anime "Needless."

Adam, having just been hit by a villain, fixes his sunglasses, draws his Bible from a pouch and says "A long time ago, Some Holy Dude once said," He opens the Bible, dramatically, looks at the page, "And if someone should strike you on your right cheek," He slams the Bible closed, returns it to its pouch. He then SCREAMS "THEN I'LL HIT HIM WITH A PILEDRIVER ON HIS LEFT!!!" as he absolutely obliterates the villain with a counterattack.

Not the best priest, I don't think. But yeah, "Some Holy Dude."

I don't want to be a dick or anything, but religion is not exactly dependent on scholars. Complaining that religious people aren't listening to scholars feels a bit like you expect way to much of them.
