You have every right to protest the Bible and say it isn't true! Now all you have to do is prove it without fabricating evidence and bearing false witness. Go ahead and try! But don't think for a minute that we will not be watching and commenting so that the truth is heard.
I freind of mine said to me that the D.C. [DaVinci Code] most be somewhat true just by the way it is stirring up the Church! SO I lean over to the girl at the next table who has been looking over to my friend and say to her "Don't bother he's GAY!" Oh my did he protest! hehehe!
Peace!

Good to know that he follows his own set of rules.
And proving that the bible is not literally true is just as easy as proving that Jack and the Beanstalk was a fabrication. Just look at (among other things) the internal inconsistencies, the flood story, talking animals and an almighty god asking Amdam and Eve where they are.
Well, I have to admit that the guy who was saying that "there must be something to The DaVinci Code because of how stirred up the Church is over it" really did deserve to be shown how ludicrous that argument was, and I have to give this fundie his props for doing it -- except that the way he showed him up directly contravenes his own (professed) principle against bearing false witness! Double standard, anyone?
Oh, and about proving the Bible false: Sorry, but the burden of proof is on the positive claimant, not the negative. Good luck proving such phenomena as God, angels, talking animals, and so forth.

Actually, much as I disagree with this guy's thesis, I think this quote is both hilarious (laughing with him, not at him) and poignant. After all, his friend was committing a logical fallacy and with quick-thinking he demonstrated the fallacy very well, according to this story.
It isn't that he was calling the other person gay, it's that he was making a claim that stirred him up to protest, much as the Da Vinci code is allegedly stirring up the Catholics to protest; and neither with any apparent evidence.
I guess he did bear false witness, but that doesn't contradict his earlier sentence because he did it not to prove that his friend was gay, but to prove that his friend's reasoning was flawed.
"You have every right to protest the Bible and say it isn't true!"
Thank you, but it wasn't necessary for *you* to bestow that right on me, I already had it.
"Now all you have to do is prove it without fabricating evidence and bearing false witness. Go ahead and try!"
I've been doing it for years. The problem for you seems to be a bad case of "Fundie denial."
"But don't think for a minute that we will not be watching and commenting so that the truth is heard."
You may be watching, but your definition of "truth" means that you will attempt to suppress and deny the truth.
"I freind of mine said to me that the D.C. [DaVinci Code] most be somewhat true just by the way it is stirring up the Church!"
Almost, but not quite, unreadable. try again.
"SO I lean over to the girl at the next table who has been looking over to my friend and say to her "Don't bother he's GAY!" Oh my did he protest! hehehe!

So, bearing false witness doesn't bother you when it suits *your* ends, eh? Some friend you are.
Oh, before I forget, you are a deluded sack of shit.
"Now all you have to do is prove it without fabricating evidence and bearing false witness. Go ahead and try!"
The burden of proof lies with the person making the POSITIVE assertion. For example, if I were to say there are twenty-meter high, bright orange gophers living on Uranus, would you expect ME to provide evidence of that claim, or would you think it was up to you to refute it?
You have the strangest definition of the word friend I've heard for a while.
fundy friend: (word redefinition project)
a trusting soul I'll willing stab in the back if he offends my hyperallergenic sensibilities.
(Then I shall laugh, gloat, and tell all of my "friends" and acquaintances of his "comeuppance")

How mature of you.

Methinks you may be giving him too much credit. I'm not sure it was intentional on his part.
Wait, you can´t tolerate that one man says that Christ was married, however, you can lie to mean to be offensive?, please, change religion. That´s one of the problems with Christianity, what other people do wrong apparently applies to you as well, no matter how much you try to say "but I did it because I am trying to spread the truth"
Pick up any random book out of the thousands at a public library. Don't look at the title or the cover. Say "god wrote this". What are your chances of being right? Pretty darn small, right?
It's an unlikely claim to make, isn't it? Now you know why if YOU make the claim, YOU must supply the proof.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
