We all see unbelievers (Undies) complaining about quoting scripture in the Q&A. I think this is a fun one. See how they justify their uses of scripture but Christians may not. Give me a break! LOL!

If they did not believe why would they shove it down anyones throat? Doesn't make sense to me!

Unbeliever read the bible; that's why they are unbelievers. Believers don't read the bible, that's why they are believers. Reading the bible is dangerous to your spiritual belief since when you read thoroughly & begin to compare scriptures youbegin to see the glaaring irreconciliable contradictions and then when you begin to research the translations of the bible you begin to see how much has been lost in translation and eventually it dawns upon you that , hey, IT'S A MAN-MADE BOOK, NOT OF ANY DIVINE ORIGIN! That's why the Catholic church frowns on its believers reading the bible and only lets the priests interprets the bible to the people. But protestants read and study the bible and end up becoming non-believers or just nominal christians. DON'T READ THE BIBLE IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ON BELIEVING IN IT!

There's a difference between asking questions about scripture, and trying to answer a question with it. Try being the operative word here.
*sigh* You obviously didn't read any of the answers here so how can you complain about them. Go find me a question where an atheist is complaining because someone is ASKING about scripture, you retard, not trying to ANSWER a question with it. Go ahead. I'll be waiting, but not holding my breath.

Tube Dude,
Okay, that was a silly question by that nonbeliever. It couldn't be serious.
However, I have been on boards for quite a while, and have noticed that without exception, nonbelievers suck assat attempting to interpret scripture. They don't have the Spirit, and thus no guidance. They can see the words and yet do not know what value to place on them.
That dyslexic joke about believing in dog? That is just about right when it comes to atheists and interpretation of scripture.

i assume not. there became into one answer (desire I had bookmarked it) that did a solid activity of surely construction a evidence, granted it did not postpone once you regarded at it rather is supplies and implications, even nonetheless it did teach that somebody had placed some theory into it. between the flaws that amazes me is that Christians tend to have self assurance each and everything and something it is declared by potential of yet another Christian i.e. "a Christian author or pastor says it, it is going to be genuine."

That's daft. Scripture contains (allegedly) a divine revelation so scriptural criticism is in fact the only sound method of challenging or proving the validity of Christianity.

The typical unbeliever has read more of the Bible than the typical believer and they just want to make sure believers aren't blindly following the text they have read and that they fully know what their holy book says.

Pot calling the kettle black?
Maybe, by using that which the Bible thumpers know, "backwards and forwards, they (the "non-believers") can shove some rhetoric down THEIR throats for a change.

The same reason believers typically do. However in the case of the person posting the question you linked to, I think it was an attempt at humour.

Because they find it an effective means of arguing with believers. Just like quoting Karl Marx to a communist, it often works, as good rhetoric, to quote someone's own authority back to him.

The ones who do, are hoping the Christians will see how ridiculous one looks quoting that ragged hack job.
