It's not the religion

It's the fucking religion. It will always be used by zealots and charlatans for evil and will never do anything good that can't be done by anyone NOT in an incest cult.

Derp "DERRRRRRP! DERRRRPPP! It'S not ThE rElIgIoN bUt ChRiStIaNiTy (And be extention Judaism because it's literally the same religion) LiTeRaLlY did ThE tHiNg I'm CoMpLaInInG about! DEERRRRRRRP!!!"

Hym "You... Literally just contradicted yourself there... The words you just now said were 'It's not the religion but the religion did the thing.' That violates the law of non'contradiction. If the religion caused the zionism... Then the religion is the cause of the zionism... If ZIONISM is the problem... Then the religion CAUSED THE PROBLEM. 'It's not the problem it's just THE CAUSE of the problem.' Is what you just said there. 'It's not the gun! It's the bullets!' Like, let it go. You don't need to use the religion instrumentally."

That's not why they did it

How the fuck do you know, Piers? Is that why THEY SAID they did it or are you just projecting the motivation you would like them to have on them so you can smear what's his name?

Hym "That's not why they did it? That's YOUR OPINION Piers. Or you are desperate to scapegoat Tommy Robinson. Either or."

It's not you, it's me

A lie. Just be honest and say "I'm not attracted to you" like dayum. The whole "It's not me, it's you" bullshit is so overused and I've heard it all before, so if I get in a relationship with anyone and they say that as to why they broke up with me, don't fucking bother. It's an insult to my intelligence and I know that's not the reason. Have some fucking integrity ffs.

"It's not you, it's me" Is total bull crap.

That’s not a fart!

Response to leaky diarrhea mistaken for suppressed flatulence.

I smell it, but I didn’t hear it. Oh Glob! That’s not a fart!

THAT'S not a gun

**That** is a gun!

When da intoxicated 'roo shooters saw Mick Dundee's rifle-wielding "kangaroo vigilante", they frenziedly took off in a blind panic, as if they had no viable weapons of their own to return fire with. And so Mick --- after complimenting da dead kangaroo on its supposed marksmanship ("Good one, Skippy!") --- could have then jokingly told Sue, "That pathetic pea-shooter that that overflowing-bladdered Sidney-based loudmouth was luggin' around?! THAT'S not a gun --- THIS is a gun!", since said noisy Lee-Enfield 303 had been so effective at scaring off said tipsy adult-delinquent and his fellow "slick city cowboys".

It's not about the size of the tide, but the motion of the ocean.

An old idiom, generally used to excuse the creator's miniscule member. Another variation of this phrase has been used in Bloodhound Gang's song, "Discovery Channel."

"It may be tiny, however, it's not about the size of the tide, but the motion of the ocean."
