The Blaze ^ | 10/09/2013 | Billy Hallowell

And of course, all the thin-skinned easily offended out there are immediately crying. *that’s not loving*.....

Couldn’t see that one coming.

I have visited their website a few times a few years ago, I forget where I had heard about them. Good for them.

The whole interview is just wonderful. Thank you so much. Wouldn’t you love to spend an evening with Scalia?

“My only thought is that congratulations on proving atheists correct about ‘Christians’ being condensing and self-righteous. The point is not that they are wrong, but that Christ is correct. It is a matter of emphasis.”

I don't think anyone has ever called me "condensing..."

You can’t convince someone by provoking them to anger.

Like the old adage, “Win the argument, lose a friend”, made me think of that.

I’ve listened to Jay Sekulow’s show, American Center for Law and Justice, I think maybe they had ads on his show.

Lots of people now jump on these Christians for being mean for telling atheists they’re wrong.

This ignores the fact that atheists are wrong.

You can’t convince someone by provoking them to anger.

You must not have any teenagers of your own, or were never a teenager yourself.

Either that or your are simply the most inept debater alive because your are so worried about whether your opponent gets angry with what you have to say.

So, the minute your opponent manifests a hint of anger, according to your logic you'll just back down -- is that it?

FReegards!

"You can’t convince someone by provoking them to anger.

Now where would we be if Jesus believed the same thing?

"You are wrong. You are stupid."

Now who was it that we should not provoke people to anger? Guess it only goes one way.

Makes you mad doesn’t it. Makes your eyes turn up into your head. What do you think it does to an atheist?

Right. Jesus told Zacchaeus, you’re stupid. Get out of here.

You best read the passage again. In His own way, He confronted her with her sin; Jesus was not shy about confronting people of their sin - telling them that they were wrong.

In many occasions Jesus told people that they were wrong; what does that say about people that do not follow Jesus?
