Just A Thought ~ STRANGE PARENT

If you have been pestered by people at your door peddling religion and wasting your time, you should exercise your rights and know how to deal with them.

"Be ready with a rebuttal when they recite a common verse. The favorite fundagelical* verse is John 3:16: 'For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.' In other words, the only way God could restrain himself from torturing us was to vent his anger by killing his natural son, and whosoever accepts that perverse notion of justice gets to move in with the guy, forever."

~ Dan Barker, ex-American Protestant Pastor, 1949 - in Losing Faith in Faith ~

(* A word he coined meaning Fundamental- Evangelical).
