They use it in an exclusionist or exclusivist manner. Who could feel good about that except an arrogant person?

Splinter-and-beam theology. You gotta laugh. Otherwise you'll just cry and cry and cry and cry....... And you’re just realizing this now?? ;-)

You present one image while trolling, and then once someone becomes an insider, everything changes! Example: "Your subscription has been paid for by others, and comes to you absolutely free of charge. We do not put a pricetag on the gospel of Jesus Christ. In fact, you cannot pay for your subscription!" (dunk) "Ok, as you know, you are now accountable to obey all of God's laws. Do you know about the three tithes?"
