Goliath was killed by David using a rock. Do these people even read their own books?

    You’re assuming that these people give a fuck about Christianity other than as a cudgel for beating people up.

      I’d say it’s just cosplay for these “Christians,” but cosplayers are much more accurate in their affect: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-enticing-sin-of-empathy

      There’s an argument to be made that churches are more about community than worship. But don’t tell them that.

    Bitch, the “unfair treatment” you are going on about was the one proposed by Trump in 2018.

      He cannot partake in a ceremony meant only to bind his power, Trump will only touch glowing orbs because they enhance his power.

    At this point, the phrase “David and Goliath” is basically a meme, and there are a lot more people that know a short guy named David fought a giant named Goliath than actually read 1 Samuel. And for that matter, more than know how the fight actually played out.

    Heck, there are a lot of people that probably only know about it from The Simpsons, that episode with the skits that cast the kids as Bible characters and basically parodied the stories they were based on… I think it had Bart as David, probably Nelson or one of the other bullies as Goliath, and Ralph killing one of Goliath’s brothers with a sling and a modern tombstone? That’s probably about as much as a lot of people know about David & Goliath, honestly.

    No they don’t. “Christians” don’t read, especially their own handbooks. To the point where if you quote something from the bible that disagrees with their ignorant bullshit they get extra mad.

      The long answer is wrong. They read the parts that suit their agenda.

    So what they’re saying is that Canada can win this fight if they’ve got good aim and a minimal arsenal of tools at their disposal. Got it.
