| | A lengthy diatribe was reverted because it opened with the false and unsupported claim that "conservatives" supported retention of the passage, and because the diatribe read like a copy of something published elsewhere. Only original work, please, and false claims about what "conservatives" think are particularly disfavored here, especially when made by liberals.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 21:52, 9 October 2009 (EDT) | | A lengthy diatribe was reverted because it opened with the false and unsupported claim that "conservatives" supported retention of the passage, and because the diatribe read like a copy of something published elsewhere.

| − | :I never saw this revert, and it was neither a "diatribe," nor is it a copy of something published elsewhere, but a compilation of referenced material, and my own words of descriptions. Moreover, the section opened with the words, "The strongest support for the retention of the pericope de adultera comes from certain conservatives" which is entirely true (as refs above on this page and in the article attest). As is the fact that liberals love to cut and paste from the Bible, and find Jesus calling adultery "sin" and commanding her to cease practicing it, to be repulsive. While liberals also love to quote Mt. 7:1, and no doubt we might be tempted to delete that as well, yet the issue 2Pet. 3:16 warns of is always a reality.
