    But they (the right) usually quote it by removing all context and by only using snippets of the text so there’s no interpretation required, in which case it’s very easy to retort by using the same tactic or by quoting the whole passage.

    Heck, just telling them that “it’s written all over the place in the Bible that only God has the ability to judge” takes care of most of their message.

      True, but if you bring facts, logic, and citations to a discussion about belief and faith then all it takes is, “that’s not the interpretation I choose to believe” to end the conversation.
