"Man shall not lie with a man...
... as one does with a woman" - that's Leviticus 18:22. Seems pretty clear, doesn't it? But you said he had a tattoo of a cross on his arm... Oh dear, then he's rather run afoul of Leviticus 19:28 then, hasn't he?

"Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you" - oh, oopsie. Various more modern translations specifically use the word tattoo, as does the Gaelic bible.

Ooh, Bible burn!
I'm going to memorise that for that my next pub-bound 'theological debate'. Have you got any more?

You asked for it
1 Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

They have found all the bits of the bible that contradict each other.

I wish I did...
A friend from school was the son of a lay minister, and thus knew his Bible inside and out, in English, Gaelic and Latin. Brilliant fun when the JWs came knocking, we'd invite them in, have a cup of tea (because there's no point being rude - how un-Christian can you be, turning someone away on a pissing wet awful Saturday afternoon when they're clearly wet and cold and direly in need of a brew and a wee scone? Really...) and let them say their piece.

Then, he'd sit forwards, polish his glasses on his Slayer t-shirt, reach for a handy Bible, open it, read silently for a moment, then *demolish* everything they'd said. Every single thing they said to defend themselves, he'd find the exact chapter and verse in his Bible, turn to the page, and read it. And then explain it, in microscopic detail.

I don't know if I believe in God, or churches, or religion, but if he was a minister I'd definitely go to his church. Awesome stuff. I love it when someone really knows their subject.
