trying quote a man who would take a hammer to your knees with a smile on his face?

I guess that is the Reichschurch's version of St. Paul.

It's actually a fairly simple concept. God made scorpions too.

Do scorpions have an immortal soul?

Or am I, as a creature given the ability of discernment by God, allowed to make decisions as to what is best for me and mine?

You have free will, including to reject Christ.

Once again, you failed to quote St. Paul calling Jews 'heretics'. And you also failed to answer whether you pretend to be a Catholic.
