    This is why it’s really handy to be well versed in the Bible – it’s very easy to throw their shit right back in their face. Know their bible better than they do.

      Matthew 5:17-9 says that all old testament laws still apply

      Matthew 6:5 says not to pray in public or flaunt your religion.

      Matthew 19:24 says that no Christian should have any disposable income.

      Timothy 2:12 says that Christian women may not proselytize

      Peter 2:18 says The Christ himself condones slavery

      Psalm 137:9 says that those who kill babies in the name of the Lord are glorified for they are exterminating the next generation of “Our Enemies”

      There are a ton more. I’ll add as I remember them.

      Numbers 5:11-31 is the only time that the entirety of The Bible or The Apocrypha even mention abortion. Those verses tell you how to perform an abortion. (In possibly the worst way, and for the worst reasons imaginable) This literally makes The Bible Pro-Choice.

      I’m intentionally ignoring the incest and lots of logical holes in the Old Testament as much as I can, because I want to poke holes in what these modern “Christians” believe.

      Edit 3: Oh! Oh! This shit contains so many verses to deploy against evangelicals. http://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/
