John 3:16... John 3:16... Nope. Nowhere to be found in that thread. No surprise there.

Wow, they really are on an anti-Christianity kick today aren't they. :mental:
I can't imagine how miserable they must constantly be to always feel the need to attack a religion that is responsible for a great deal of the good in the world. They are obsessed with it, which tells me that deep down they believe that it is right and fear it.

Things will be better when the Muslims take over.....believe me, it will be.
The atheist, nonbelieving DUmmies will all be dead....they don't get a choice.

Their lord and master is clear with the utter demonic hatred they spew at the slightest mention of Christianity.

You hit in on the head. For God so LOVED the world. Love is the central point and John 3:16 is a short and sweet example of it.
I think Paul did a good job in 13th Chapter of 1st Corinthians of explaining about love:
If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever. Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will all disappear. Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little! But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear. It's like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now. There are three things that will endure--faith, hope, and love--and the greatest of these is love.

Getting closer to Christmas. Soon the moods of those around them will be lifting, children will be laughing more and singing carols, Christian symbols will be more prominent, and the greeting "Merry Christmas" will be heard everywhere. In other words, everything that constipates a moonbat. This is their version of getting in the holiday spirit.

And there's only so many of those I can take. After a while, I have to put them on ignore. Please, please, let's not wallpaper CC with them come Christmas time. We get their gist. It's in God's hands.

In all honesty, there are some things both in the Bible and in Christianity that can sometimes be difficult to understand. If they were just getting these things wrong it would bone somewhat understandable. Granted, their superiority and delusions of correctness as they get it wrong is tough to take. What is so unbelievable to me is that they constantly find ways to get the simple stuff incorrect.
I taught a Training Union class several years ago that was made of 6 and 7 years old. There were two brothers in the class who were complete hellions. The had the attention span of a flea. Those two, with all their faults, had a better grasp of the Bible and Christianity than the majority of the DUmp.
I don't know how many denominations have something called Training Union. For the record, it is basically Sunday School at night in the Baptist churches around here.
