  Oh, and by the way: Are atheists going to drop that specific verse from
their arsenal after being explained what it means? Of course not. It's way
too valuable of a straw man to be dropped. It's juicy. It makes christians
(who don't understand the verse) uncomfortable. Atheists just *love* this.
That's why they will never drop that verse, even if they silently admit
that the explanation perhaps makes sense.

  In other words, atheists are outright dishonest. They are deliberately
distorting the verse for the sole reason that it makes people uncomfortable,
and they can use it as a weapon to attack them.

  Most of them will just keep up the "it's just a rationalization" facade
to explain away the explanation. In other words, they are fooling themselves,
just to keep this valuable verse. They won't drop it.

  Part of it might also be that publicly admitting you were wrong can be
really hard. How many atheists are going to say "yes, you are right, that
explanation makes sense and I understand the verse now, and I will not use
it anymore in my critique"?

  This kind of dishonesty makes these atheists no better than the religious
fanatics. Lies and distortion, just for the purpose of attacking others.
I find it pathetic.
