The Everchanging Nature of "Context"?

When a Christian uses the rather dry and uninspiring response "You're taking that quote out of context" why are not one single one of them capable of positing the CORRECT context then? It's like screaming "WRONG" at the top of your lungs, then keeping your mouth shut when asked for clarification.

    I've asked them what context would make killing everyone in the world including all the babies not evil. They never seem to have one that isn't stupid.

    Context does not exist in the abstract. It only exists with reference to its substance.
