    Know their bible better than they do.

    They interpret it selectively, just like their version of the Constitution that begins and ends with the Second Amendment.

      This is the problem. It doesn’t matter. For every interpretation one may have, someone else has an interpretation somewhere else in the scriptures that says the exact opposite according to them. The book itself is such a giant catchall for any motive one may have it’s almost comical at this point. Virtually anyone can use it as evidence of support for or against just about anything.

          Confirmed. In my native language, the guy is called DJ Oetker McSnack-a-bit O’Parma. IIRC, he used to teach people about making love to their neighbors just like they’d be making love to themselves, and such…

        If you say guns kill people one more time, I will shoot you with a gun, and you will, coincidentally, die.
