Reply #24: I find the fundies really tend to squirm when I hit them with this one

[Az]

Luke 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

The most interesting reaction to this comes from fundie protestors. I approached a protestor with a huge antiabortion sign during the 2000 campaign and asked him if he had a bible. When he produced it I asked him to look up the verse and read it. Then I asked for his sign. He went off at this point. Started running around claiming I was trying to rob him (my hands were by my side the entire time and no threats were made, verbal or visual). Finally he spotted a cop and flagged him down. The cop came over and checked the situation out, wrote down both our names and asked both of us to vacate the area. I gladdly complied but the protestor seemed less than happy.

Another protestor that went a bit funny about this one occurred during the Atheist march in DC. There were numerous believers along the route informing us how evil we were and how this was a Christian nation. One small group had a bullhorn helping them spread the good word. I approached and asked them to read the verse. Then I asked for the bullhorn. They then proceeded to come up with every excuse under the sun to ignore Jesus. The best one was "Its not my bullhorn so I can't give it to you".
