Newsweek didn’t see a thing coming when it got blowback from a recent attack on Christians.
In the magazine’s latest cover story, “The Bible: So Misunderstood it’s a Sin,” best-selling author Kurt Eichenwald referred to those who read and follow biblical scriptures as “God’s frauds, cafeteria Christians who pick and choose which Bible verses they heed with less care than they exercise in selecting side orders for lunch.”
Needless to say, the description didn’t set well with RedState founder Erick Erickson, who shared a stinging rebuke of Eichenwald’s anti-Christian sentiment on Fox News .
“I find it mildly ironic that a man whose magazine is no longer available in print form, only online, has the nerve to criticize the most widely published book in history,” Erickson said.
The comment sparked a Twitter exchange between Erickson and Eichenwald. Follow the fun via The Right Scoop:

@EWErickson …finally, please explain to me how you do not violate Romans 13: 1-4 with what you do for as living. — Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 30, 2014
@kurteichenwald that you even have to ask about Romans 13 is a clear indication you are wholly ignorant about Christianity.

@EWErickson …and btw – fundamentalism is not Christianity. It is one form of Christianity. Unless u think everyone other than those who… — Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) December 30, 2014
