Are you willing to learn the precious words of the Bible or are you the type of person that's more concerned with... blah blah blah

Fallacious assumptions:
1. AF doesn't know the bible.
2. There are only two types of people; those who know the bible and those who are more concerned with (blah blah blah).

A standard psychological ploy that is used to dismiss people's reasonings, feelings or needs, is categorization. By placing someone into a category, you dehumanize them and can thereby excuse yourself for ignoring their words, stepping on their feelings, or depriving them of their needs. The Ku Klux Klan is an extreme example of this; you are a nominal one. Categorizing AF as "the type of person who... blah blah blah" makes him subhuman and inferior to you and thereby excuses you, in your own conscience, from answering him.

Kindergarten word games. Try to grow up, won't you? You're embarrassing yourself.
