...Unless you are born again you cannot understand it.

"But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned." 1 Cor 2:14


I don't even know where to start.

1. Start with this:
well, we don't have it any more, but I'd start with the old flipping the double bird smilie, and then tell those people to go fuck themselves.

Yeah, Jesus was all about exclusivity and making sure that only the people who knew the "secret" actually got in. Hell is fashioned soley for abusers of the faith like those born-again-talibanners.

2. I'd start with an indepth study of 1 Corinthians.
What's that? Arrogance, pride, and division in the church? Say it ain't so, Paul!

4. Gnosticism at it's very worst!
Saved by secret knowledge, have to receive a certain vision or version to be saved... BULLSHIT!!!
