Christians always want the Bible to be taught in schools, and Dan starts to teach what's in the Bible and they leave!!!

Hahahahah people walking away lol. But what Dan is saying is true, Christians ignore a thousand other things that modern people and they themselves would not agree with that Bible says is right but when they criticize homosexuality bible is suddenly the go-to document

[Sutra Stevens]

Because Christians assume people have not heard the 2000 year old stories a hundred times already. "Have you heard the Good News, heathen?" "Yes, be quiet".

[Lachlan326]

Why do people always tell christians to keep their beliefs to themselves then?

[Lachlan326]

Maybe you should read the bible yourself and find out if he was actually teaching what was in the bible. Because I can tell you right now he wasn't

[MrMylittlekingdavid]

One word for you my friend. Remember that the one lesson in the bible is respect other people and love your neighbor. Try following the most basic edict of the bible, before you start chucking the vitrol.

Oh...walk away...losing team ladies and gents...

Ultimately... Dan's a radical.

We're discussing him and his message here.

As far as I can gather; the fact that we're doing that points to mission accomplished for his part.

So the minute someone actually calls them out on their shit, something that they have been ignoring for centuries, they walk out instead of at least attempting to gain some credibility by listening? Savage could have formulated his arguments more appropriately, but what he says is the truth.
