You don't need to be an expert in apologetics. Instead, you'll learn the forgotten biblical principle of bypassing the intellect (the place of argument) and speaking directly to the conscience (the place of the knowledge of right and wrong) — the way Jesus did.

"Me not use brain? That just wrong!"
Nope. Sorry. Doesn't work.
I looked into my heart too, but all I saw was muscles jumping around and a lot of blood. What's with these Fundie puppet masters and their mis-direction of the intellect?
Fundie-in-a-nutshell Seconded!
"Instead, you'll learn the forgotten biblical principle of bypassing the intellect (the place of argument) and speaking directly to the conscience (the place of the knowledge of right and wrong) the way Jesus did. "
I'm sure that would have impressed the Temple Elders, with whom young Jesus was alleged to hold discourse.
(Homer Simpson as Jesus) "Conscience? I know you hate me, and I hate you, so let's just get through this philosophical argument and then I'll go back to killing you with consecrated wine."
My conscience tells me that letting people spout endless bullcrap about biology, physics, history, philosophy, law, etc. is wrong.
Strangely, my intellect agrees.
I guess you didn't understand the biblical principle that the intellect is part of the conscience, Way to Masturbate.
I also notice that you acknowledge "the place of knowledge of right and wrong"...just think of how much stupider you would be if A&E hadn't et the fruit.
BTW, Doubting Thomas was an intellectual, and Jesus held him in higher esteem than the others.

That's a skill all fundies use frequently.
I dunno, I kind of like the idea of putting the bible aside and arguing for what you know to be right. Best to have facts, though, and logic is a good thing.
Sounds about right. Way of the Master seems to employ the tactic of bypassing the intellect in spades.
Fittingly, "Bypass the intellect. Speak to the conscience" does sound like something you'd hear in a bad 70s kung-fu flick.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
