Sticking it to the Man

from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School

Everybody loves to quote Scripture—I’m not sure why—because no matter the text, the minute you open your mouth to pronounce what it says, it condemns you. Sometimes in obvious ways, but more often in subtle ways that betray the depth of your ignorance—like the chief priests in Matthew’s gospel. My advice, skip the Bible memes on your profile and avoid empty words about how much you love your personal god because all of it will count against you on that day. You are better off hearing it, reciting it, and doing it, but please, don’t quote it. Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Matthew 27:41-44.
