This one gets mentioned a lot during catholic prayers. Jesus is supposed to be the most perfect, most patient, and most gracious, and most humble human being to have ever existed, and yet in this verse he is clearly getting irritated and impatient at finding his friends asleep. Like he's saying "You couldn't have been bothered to stay awake for another hour on my behalf, you lazy bums. You call yourselves my disciples?"
One verse that bugged me (because just about every fundie I knew ignored it or tried to explain it away - the verse itself was decent) was a verse in Ezekiel that explained that the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah wasn't homosexuality, but inhospitality. In very clear text. Yet when you present it to fundies, they make up excuses or just outright discount anything you have to say because "you clearly don't have the holy spirit and thus do not understand the Bible."
Since I was a liberal Christian ex-fundie at the time, they were basically accusing me of being a Not Real Christian :/

...So God wiped the cities out because they were inpolite?
