yeah, i’ve been catching flak on this. I mean those Christians who have decided that Scripture reads just like WBC says it does and then simply leave it behind.
Difference in saying I don’t believe than in saying, “I believe Phelps is correct in his interpretation so I just want read it anymore”
I don’t see this among liberal Christians, Joel, but I do see this among some of the more vocal atheists. Liberal Christians are trying to live in a middle ground, while fanatical atheists are just as annoying as the Phelpsies.

The third one is such a blatant misread, though!
I mean, from its own quote: “keep thee from the evil woman.”
“Evil woman,” not “all women because they’re evil.” Pretty dang sloppy.
