I saw this in another thread and didn't want to hijack it so I'm starting my own.
"Christians do not claim to know God's will."
Baloney.
There are over 38,000 sects of their fairy tale and they all have different interpretations and claim, "It's OBVIOUS that MY view of the Bible is RIGHT."
God's will or mind? Same thing.
They claim "God REALLY meant THIS in this passage" and there are numerous ways to spin it.
One of my favorite ways to play what I call Stump a Thumper:
Me: Do Thumpers know the will/mind of God?
T: Of course not.
Me: So, if I said that your God visited me yesterday and said, "Laffy, I'm disgusted with all the so-called Christians. They go against the Bible 24/7 while using my name to do it. Obviously, I wasn't clear. So here is what I REALLY meant. Forget the Bible. Here is my NEW message for mankind. Now, go spread the word and command people to follow you so they can get into heaven"? Would you believe me?
T: No way, Jose.
Me: Why not?
T: God would never.....ever....say the Bible didn't count. He sacrificed his own son. Can't let that go for nothing.
Me: But you just said you didn't know his mind. If he decided to say the Bible was dumb, how can you say God can't change his mind? You just contradicted yourself.
T: I don't know his mind. I just know he'd never change it when it comes to the Bible.
Me: You realize you sound like an idiot, right?
Of course, their feeble brains just lock up and they start crying how "intolerant" I am. LOL!!
