The only thing I'm going to say on the subject.

If the only worthy people were the poor and the homeless -- you know, that whole camel-through-the-eye-of-the-needle thing -- how long do you think it would take the believers to notice?

And how do you think they'd react when it sank in?

Dude.

Really?

You're going to smugly cite a source, then when asked to name the source, refuse?

But you are going to take that one source of information, and rely unquestioningly on it, and take umbrage when people question its veracity? How does this make you any better than any other religious fanatic?

You were the one making the assertion (about the rope misquote), the burden of proof falls upon you. If you fail to produce evidence to back up this claim by not producing a citation, or even a bibliographical entry, then your argument, and with it your case, fails.

I didn't back it up because I was informed that the source was irrelevant, since it was only a single source. So what would the point be. Since you ask, the source (if I am recalling correctly), was Rescuing the Bible From Fundamentalism by one Spong. But I could be misremembering, and it might be one of Bart Ehrmann's books.
