Attended a service of very hard-core Christians. The "minister" quoted what he said was from the Bible. It was not.

It was from Reader's Digest.

No one noticed. When I asked about the ministers' knowledge of the Bible, his followers said he was knew it "backwards and forwards"
...this same guy cited something from the New Testament that was Old Testament and jumped around in the types of Bible he quoted - Living Bible, New International, King James. It was clear he pulled everything off the internet, where Bible quotes come from different Bibles.
...but he had a good "old time religion" appeal to women being subservient to men.

THIS is what's wrong with politics and religion. Many of the people who say everything they believe comes from the Bible are more likely to know who won American Idol than whats in the Bible.
...for those asking why I was there. I was invited. I am deeply fascinated by religion - all religion - and have spent decades reading the Bible and learning about its history. It always amazes me that the people who know the least about it are the ones who say it is inerrant.
