Of course if you quote Jesus’ literal words at these people they start screeching about how the Devil can quote scripture too
I was yelling at some people protesting abortion just before the Dobbs decision, and I found one guy who wanted to argue in front of his wife and daughter.
I asked why the Bible has a recipe for an abortion potion in it, and specifically for unfaithful wives; he said it doesn’t.
I told him “oh, weird. I have the passage pulled up here on my phone.”
With a smug look he replied “I don’t do Bible study with non-believers.”
I told him “okay, I’m sure I can find someone in this crowd who isn’t a coward,” and started to walk away.
He didn’t want to look pathetic in front of his family, so he agreed to let me read it. As I was pulling it up, he said “you probably don’t even know who wrote the book of Numbers.”
I told him “Christian and Jewish tradition points to Moses, but nobody really knows,” and then I read the passage.
When I was done, he said “that said it caused a miscarriage, not an abortion.”
I berated him and told him “that’s what the fuck an abortion is, jackass: an induced miscarriage”
His wife asked then me where I got the boba tea I was drinking. I know I didn’t get through to her numbnuts husband, but I think his family may have learned something that day about the Bible and their paterfamilias.
