Sometimes I look at what’s going on in America and I shake my head. I suppose that’s why those bobble-head dolls are so popular there. If you had to all that head-shaking yourself, your neck would break, so it’s nice to have a machine to do it for you.
It seems that having prayer meetings at coffee shops is now a popular and ostentatious way for religious believers to flaunt their holiness.
If I saw that going on, I’d introduce them to Matthew:
6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Christians interpreting their scriptures selectively? Shocked I am! Shocked, I tells ya!
Deluded people belong in one of two places: a mental hospital or a church. No need to pester the rest of us with their bizarre and aberrant hobby.

If you really want to make your head spin check this out. In the U.S. there is a group of nutters that believes interstate 35 has some sort of biblical connection. See links below.

You're a walking paradox.
A deconverted atheist, expert on Christian scripture, with a name like Daniel, the most biblical name next to Luke, Mark and John.
Amazing….

I can still quote scripture with the best of them.
