the pick and choose bible thumpers are the best, treating their foundation document as though it were some sort of Chinese Take-Out Menu where one selects 2 from column A and 1 from Column B and disregards the rest....

I always like to toss this one at 'em when they're hating gays:

Mark: 12:30 and 12:31 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Just because I don't believe doesn't mean I didn't read their books, in fact one might argue because I did read their books that I'm no longer filled with belief.
