“Maybe I am thinking of “The road to Hell is paved with good intentions” whatever Napoleon must have said one of them.

not only does he misquote....he then proceeds to reveal a complete misunderstanding of of the statement he just quoted.

No problem misquoting the bible if you don’t claim to be a Christian...
otherwise, you need to be called on it.

Sort of like quoting from the Book of Hezekiah in the Old Testament.

Other common misquotes:
“And this above all, to thine own self be true.” Not the Bible, I think it’s Shakespeare.
“Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” Nowhere in the Bible.
People often quote Shakespeare as if it were in the Bible, I guess that olde English makes it sound Bible-y.

Secular types that quote the Bible are funny, although they are usually very sure of themselves even as they stick their foot in thier mouths.

The passage is right there in the Bible. Right next to “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.” < /sarc>

“Judge not, lest ye be judged”
a secularists favorite “bible quote”.
(ie, “don’t hold me accountable to any standards”)

To be fair... it probably is in Joel Osteen’s “Bible”
To: Red Badger
Not only does he misattribute the statement to the Bible, but he totally misses the meaning of the statement.

Ooops... I see you already made this point.
THAT, in my opinion, is even more telling than saying the quote came from the Bible.
He’s interpreting: “The Lord helps those who help themselves” to mean: “The Government helps those who don’t help themselves.”
