Sometimes, Dan, when something doesn't make sense, it's not because you are stupid, or just a mere human, or not guided by the correct spacecreature .... it's because it is nonsense.
The Bible didn't make sense to me until I realised that it was just a collection of writings of men's thoughts about gods.
It's easy to just throw away a scripture when it doesn't fit, right?
That is part of the strategy. Distraction. A Dub will nearly always quote a scripture that he feels contradicts your scripture. Hopefully, you will be sucked in to discussing his scripture and forget that he hasn't demonstrated that he hasn't got a problem with yours. The truth is, that if the scriptures of any religious book can't be made to fit each other, (or reality for that matter), that the thoughts cannot be from some all knowing space creature, regardless of what that Church's heirarchy want you to believe.
