When someone compares Scripture to something that is universally
acknowledged to be profane and states that they prefer the profanity, then
they have, in effect reversed the definitions for evil and good. He makes
the sacred profane.

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness
for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet
for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own
sight!
(Isaiah 5)
