But by all means, continue in your usual manner, making personal attacks, calling people names, deflecting from the OP. It's expected.

Romans 2:1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.


Here's a list of 200 quotes. Knock yourself out.

is just too subtle. Why not just come out and say what you really want to?

Joking aside, though, you did ask a question in the OP. What are your thoughts now? Did you go through the 200 examples I provided you?
I am no lover of the Bible, or any religion, but hypocrisy is one subject that gets covered quite a lot. I give credit where credit is due. Same way I give you credit when it is due. That's about trying to be fair, not passive-aggressive.

What was your point of your initial reply? If I jumped to the wrong conclusion, I owe you an apology.

The cartoon is about the 10 Commandments (one version of them, anyway), not the whole Bible. But the 'question' was just the text of the cartoon; as a title, it's a rhetorical question.

That'll teach me not to view cartoons on a smartphone, or I could get a new prescription for my eyes.
My vicar taught us there were only 3 that really counted (5,7 & 8). I still agree with him on that.
