Taking Something in Context... Atheist Style!

Atheists suck when they interpret me!

Friends, how many times have you been confronted with an atheist who deliberately takes a Bible verse out of context? Usually, when you tell them that they do the ol' rolling-eye routine and say, "It's always context, isn't it? You Christians just can't accept the fact that your Bible is full of contradictions!" People like Pharaoh Till and Dan Barfer are masters of taking the Bible out of context yet they can't accept the fact that they do.

I'm reminded of the trailer of the movie The Shining, starring Jack Nicholson. Now some of you know that this movie is actually a horror film based on a Stephen King book. The Shining is filled with profanity, nudity, and graphic violence. But you wouldn't get that impression after watching this parody trailer:

Get the picture? Just like the editors that edited this horror film to look like a G-rated family movie, so the atheists are good at editing and manipulating the Bible to mean whatever they want.

I've decided to play the same game on an atheist who is notorious at taking the Bible completely out of context. In particular with my pal Brooks Trubee. You see, Brooks not only takes the Bible out of context but he took me out of context. In a forum [where I ("trubeeisalwayswrong") whip Brooks ("MrKrinkles") badly] he quoted me as saying: "God may be a more prolific torturer than Hitler, but I think its because God has the moral justification and credibility for doing so..." Seems like I believe that it's a good thing that God is worse than Hitler doesn't it? Ain't true. You see, you should all know that Brooks forgot to put quote-unquotes around "prolific torurer" and he didn't add the rest of what I said in the paragraph from whence that quote came from. Fighting pretty dirty, isn't it?

But that's so typical of atheists. They've learned well from Capaldi's book it seems. You see, they can make God look like Woody Allen if they wanted to! Just by taking one single verse out of a whole Bible completely out of context.

Heil Hitler!
(see, obviously, Brooks Trubee is a skinhead)

Fair game! I decided to take an atheist "in context" the atheistic way: you guys should know that Brooks Trubee is a Nazi sympathizer who hates Jews and believes Hitler is god. Don't believe me? Here I quote him in our debate. Here's what Brooks Trubee says:

"I wanted... to admit that... Hitler was... god..."

"Well, that is... funny... Jews who suffered and died in the Holocaust..."

Here Brooks just gets weird:
"I don't believe your god is real. I don't believe that hell is real. Therefore I don't think..."
I could've told him that. Anyway, seems like Brooks hates Pharaoh Till:

"Farrell Till... is demented."

Also, Brooks believes God is perfect:

"...I don't think there is a problem with God..."

*Rolling eyes* Now, you atheists don't really believe I'm taking you guys out of context, do you? I was quoting him as honestly as an atheist

I really suck at interpreting the Bible!

Here, I'll quote Dan Barfer the same way he quotes the Bible:

"Atheists claim god... exists."

"...atheists feel... meaningless..."

"Atheism is... human sacrifice, cannibalism (Eucharist), wife beating, self mutilation, war, circumcision, castration and incest..."

"All atheists are... unhappy, immoral, angry, arrogant, demonic, unfeeling wretches who have no reason to live."

"...theism... remains the only rational position."

There you have it. And I used Dan Barfer's own words too!

Not only am I shameless, but I suck at interpreting the Bible!

I'll put Pharaoh Till in context the Pharaoh Till way:

"I'm... a... Chicken"

"...I never responded to... James Patrick Holding..."

"...I am going to make... pigs... fly..."

You should know that Pharaoh Till believes that Josh McDowell is right too. See for yourself:

"I will concede that... the Bible is the Word of God."

"... I certainly... consider Josh McDowell... with more intelligence than... me... "

They call me Low-Context Man!

I'll take atheist Dougie Krueger in context the atheist's way:

"Some time ago I roasted... Nietzsche, Kant, and evolution."

"... my review... of Zacharias' A Shattered Visage... and... Zacharias' book Can Man Live Without God?... were... bad..."

"... I... commit horrific acts... commit bad deeds to deserve damnation... commit genocide..."

"... Hitler was an atheist."

"... there is... evidence that atheists lead lives less meaningful than those of theists..."

"Atheistic ethical systems are... rapine, cruelty, and murder."

"... I... deserve eternal torture."

"... Christian... morals... are... good..."

Not only does my mouth stink but I suck at interpreting the Bible, too!

To turn the steering wheel the other way, I'll take agnostics like Ed "with the rotten mouth" Babinski in context the agnostic way:

O.K. folks, here's my... fundie story in a nutshell... In college I was elected... most... difficult... to think... deeply.

Yet atheists just can't accept the fact that atheism (and atheists) is full of contradictions! It's always context, isn't it?
