In reply to the discussion: The Bible...we can quote it, too. [View all]Whoa_Nelly
(21,236 posts)20. All you really have to do when someone comes to your door to proselytize
is ask them for their address, because you would love to come knocking on their door on their private property without invitation at any time of the day or night to discuss your personal belief system...and when I state that mine is Atheism, I never see them again.
In fact, I'm pretty sure my door now has a secret mark on it, as none have dropped by for months now.
That's not ridicule, and it is setting boundaries regarding respect.

No wonder republicans and crazy religious fanatics are so immature. The Bible taught them well.

But Christians sure *love* to quote Leviticus 20:13 to deny gay people equal rights!
