Open Thread: Atheists, Agnostics, Etc: What is Your Favorite Bible Verse?
I realize it sounds like a strange question but it’s not. All too often we non-religious and non-believing types are told that our problem is that we’ve just never read the Bible, or that we haven’t read it enough. That’s simply untrue. The fact that we have read the Bible is the reason so many of us left religion and even lost our faith. In the meantime, and even afterward (for some of us still read that tome), we’ve managed to find that even we can find quotables within the Bible–ones that are far more interesting than the usual dribble lobbed at us by the RRRW.
That being said, I thought it might be interesting to see what some of my readers consider their favorite Bible verse. Mine is:
1 Thessalonians 4:11
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you.
Yes. The Bible actually tells people to mind their own business. Funny how none of the Bible Thumpers seem to know about that particular verse. Certainly none of them live by it.
