“Memorizing scripture for what reason? To use it to beat other people over the head with? People spout Bible verse all the time. So what? People spout the Koran as well.”


yup- when i initially started in the insurance business 27.5 years ago our office was full of born again Christians; people who reminded us daily “we are going to Heaven because we’ve accepted Jesus into our hearts.” Scripture was often recited or as you stated, used to beat others over the head...

ironically these same people were some of the biggest crooks in the office; ripping people off, selling them things they didn’t need, getting fined by the state insurance commission for misdeeds, etc...

That's pretty sad. I know plenty of scripture, but to just quote it seems out of context. I need the liturgical background in order to appreciate scripture.
