Jesus's response to the Sadducees was _amazing!_ No wonder he silenced them!

[@northeastchristianapologet1133]

Totally agree. Genius answer. But we wouldn’t expect anything less from the Lord.

[@HarryNicNicholas]

really? you know this how?

[@HarryNicNicholas]

@@northeastchristianapologet1133 lol, you're funny. the talking snake and donkey cult is nothing more than voodoo and spells, more blood sacrifice and human sacrifice dressed up in pseudo intellectualism that's really drivel.

[@HarryNicNicholas]

you have to bear in mind it is impossible for religists to be honest, they believe that god
is watching them 24 hours a day seven days a week and anything they say that goes against
him will result in being burned alive for eternity, it is not possible for anyone being
coerced that way to even begin to make truthful statements, never mind concede a point to
an atheist.
