A sad truth

Here is an article about using the Christian Bible, or more about misusing it. Here is a snippet:

“Most people who profess a deep love of the Bible have never actually read the book,” says Rabbi Rami Shapiro, who once had to persuade a student in his Bible class at Middle Tennessee State University that the saying “this dog won’t hunt” doesn’t appear in the Book of Proverbs.

The Christian folks often seem to be so proud of their Bible, and are often the first to tout it as the source of truth, especially as an absolute truth. The sad truth is that they don't read it, at least not based on articles such as this. This is not only sad, but dangerous. One should not allow themselves to be guided so blindly, no matter how good that guidance appears to be, nor should one quote incorrectly from a book one may have not even read.
