Thanks for the pro tip. I've edited it for more generic accuracy.

Not to bright either. I don't find many things in the Bible offensive, but there are certainly some things that are. Funny they tend to be found more in the Old Testament then the New Testament.

Unless you repent of your heretical beliefs, that is EXACTLY where you'll find yourself, young man.

I'm saved by the believeing on the Sacrafice of my Lord Jesus Christ. Those that accept other modes of salvation and call themselves "christian" are the heretics.

They need to agree with the Word of God. Eternal life is not accessed through opinion polls.

Where in the Bible does it say people either believe in the Great Deluge or they are "some tattooed covered, beer beltch'n, horney sex'd dude, who uses the pages of the Bible to wipe his butt on."

Cuz I don't remember that part.

I also don't remember where it says in the New Testament that tattooed people or beer drinkers or people who have sexual urges are going to hell.
