He's not a Bible believer referencing the Bible as a source of knowledge/wisdom/morality as you are. He's just showing that Cindy isn't playing by her own rule book; she's a hypocrite. What's your point? His behavior is nonbiblical as well? Well no shit. I'm sure he'd proudly show you 100 places where he differs from the Bible. What's that got to do with his comment on Cindy?<br /><br />In general, the only place I've seen where quoting the Bible is persuasive is among unread Bible believers, or in a discussion about the Bible's contents. In any discussion with nonbelievers, it carries about as much weight as quoting Harry Potter. We're not ignorant of its contents and in need of a reminder. We've examined the contents and found them horribly wanting for indications of divine authorship. When you quote it to us, what we hear is "Here's what a bunch of bronze age goat herders thought". Why should people with access to modern knowledge (with a far better track record of success BTW) care? I'd just as soon look for wisdom among the guys who sleep at the bus stop.ScienceAvengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855046387193200080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-74222406160213773752010-06-07T07:27:20.265-05:002010-06-07T07:27:20.265-05:00The lady could've been smarter by having her f...The lady could've been smarter by having her friend hold up a sign (with an arrow pointing to the guy with his own sign) saying:<br /><br />Blessed is the man <br /> who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked <br /> or stand in the way of sinners <br /> or sit in the seat of <i>mockers</i>. -- Psalms 1Junipernoreply@blogger.com
