Isn't it sinful to ask somebody to lie?If it didn't matter; why not put the verse to rest. Be a hero for all Atheists.
You can't.

You obviously don't really understand the verse. Clue: it has nothing to do with the physical ability to utter four words.

Are you prepared to say "Allahu Akbar"?
When you tell me why you won't say "Alluhu akbar" you'll understandIf it doesn't, have anything to do with the ability to utter words, then tell me what it's purpose is?

Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:3 KJV)
I do not claim any god greater then my God.
1 Corinthians 12:3 says I am unable to curse God; so I can't with intention.
Atheism doesn't follow gobbledygook remember? It doesn't believe anything, but obviously you can't say Jesus is The Lord, because there is No evidence of a God?
?A Christian spoke.
Meaningless to whom? you?Anyone without a speech impediment can say it, but just saying it means nothing. The verse is meaningless.
Meaningless to whom? you?
Even atheists can be motivated to react to Bible verses.
QV your avatar and see if you can tell what verse I'm thinking of.
For being "meaningless," they sure have you guys' attention, don't they?
Aren't atheists supposed to know these 'meaningless verses' better than Christians?
If somebody quotes the same verse multiple times in your face it is likely to get your attention. That doesn't give it meaning, it is more likely a demonstration of how that person is not grasping what the respondents are saying.For being "meaningless," they sure have you guys' attention, don't they?
QEDAren't atheists supposed to know these 'meaningless verses' better than Christians?
I think you're almost there! You appear to be on the verge of seeing that it is not about physical ability to say words. Go on! You can do it!1 Corinthians 12:3 says I am unable to curse God; so I can't with intention.
But your religion does?Atheism doesn't follow gobbledygook remember?
I can say it, but why would I? I don't believe it so I'd either be lying or just saying a meaningless phrase. What's your point?It doesn't believe anything, but obviously you can't say Jesus is The Lord, because there is No evidence of a God?
I'll do that ... and I'll see if you do the same.Perhaps you should dislodge yourself from your high horses and take an objective step back.
Just how much have you had to deal with these "Bronze Age desert herders" exactly, Dreamer?Of course we do. When we have to deal with grown men and women who believe the word of Bronze Age desert herders as the inerrant word of some arbitrary divine being, supported by the equivalent amount of evidence of Santa Claus' existence, it tends to get a little attention.
I'll do that ... and I'll see if you do the same.

Because of these guys' existence, who built their nation on what you call "the equivalent amount of evidence of Santa Claus' existence," the world has see unparalleled bloodshed.
I thank God for these Jews, as without them, people with attitudes like yours would walk in our midst unnoticed for the lowlifes that they are.
Put another way, these "desert hearders" have a way of bringing out the wolves, who would normally walk around in sheeps' clothing, fooling even the very elect of God.
But all that aside, Dreamer -- how have you, personally, had to deal with these "desert herders"? and how much angst has it caused you?
I'll look for an objective answer.
Perhaps you and others here who take the Bible with a grain of sand need to learn what others in the past learned the hard way:That doesn't give it meaning, it is more likely a demonstration of how that person is not grasping what the respondents are saying.
