Twittering mission

I am sitting in the Trudeau Airport in Montreal, Quebec having an absolute blast twittering with a fundamentalist Christian. Here is the unedited exchange:

TAM - Attention atheists. Today's textbook example of sickness of religion. @halomaster141 says incest ok if happens in #Bible

Fundy - @AtheistMission I said "at the time." Not throughout the entire Bible. See Leviticus 18:6

TAM - @halomaster141: You are a liar. You said not sinful for Cain to screw his sister. Don't try to weasel out of it. #atheist

Fundy - @AtheistMission EXACTLY. Cain came BEFORE Leviticus by a little bit!!

[Comment by twitter the_author_] @halomaster141 Incest is incest, and it's wrong no matter when or where it occurred. Also, ew.

Fundy - @the_author_ No, now you're misquoting me. I didn't say it was ok throughout the Bible. Just when it was the only way to reproduce

[Another comment by the_author_] @halomaster141 I read the conversation and technically, he's not misquoting you. You excused biblical incest because it was biblical. Gross.

TAM - @halomaster141: U are PERFECT example of #creationist who doesn't think through the twisted logical implications of what U believe

Fundy - @the_author_ And... what exactly is wrong with incest if it's not yet prohibited by God and the gene pool is perfect?

Fundy - @the_author_ @AtheistMission Would someone please explain to me why it's wrong if it's not prohibited by God?

TAM - @halomaster141: Man, listen to yourself. U R saying it is ok to screw your sister if lordy says it's ok. HAHAHA #atheist

Fundy - @AtheistMission @the_author_ Still waiting for you guys to explain why incest is wrong if it is AT THE TIME not prohibited by God.

TAM - @the_author_: ... and people wonder why I campaign against religious irrationality ...

  1. This is just too much fodder. Please tell me this was all in context because, if not, this guy is an absolute idiot.

    Granted, it may not be his religious ideology that thwarts his intelligence but the lackluster education he received. Somebody! Please! Increase funding for education! Real education.

  2. This is just brilliantly indicative of the lack of real thinking by creationists. It's in the bible it must be real! Ha ha ha! Try reading OTHER books, then you may get an understanding of how the world actually evolved.

  3. I guess buggery is OK too as long as it occurred in the Bible. Maybe those men in robes are going to Heaven after all.

  4. In this particular case, I don't think Fundy is looking to screw his sister. He is debating history. Far more important to me, is what religious extremists are actually doing, or would do, if they believed that the instructions came from God. Is there any point where a true believer can say "God, anything but that! Here is where I draw the line."

  5. At first I laughed at this, but almost half of America believes the bible is innerant, which is frightening.! A scary thought to think about.
