Aw, crap. I forgot to italicise “religious” up there. If you all mentally do that, it will seem more sarcastic.

Thanks!

Oh, but it’s totally okay for religious purposes. As Egg Shen says in Big Trouble in Little China, “people take what they want, and leave the rest–like your salad bar.”

Only slightly guilty? I meant to be flagrantly, obviously, incredibly guilty. The whole point was to show how dishonest quote-mining is, by giving a dose of it to those who can dish it out but can’t take it.

I’m glad someone noticed. :-)

I am sure there are enough quotes in the bible to contradict those quotes you selected. Religious texts are such wonderful sources of ambiguosity.
Which is, of course, an irony in itself…

(Not saying I don’t agree with your point of view, but you *are* slightly guilty of quote-mining in return for this article.)
