There's nothing wrong with making reference to the bible, the kerrang, or whatever 'holy' text might be under discussion, but simply parroting scripture in place of actual argument, or as though they represent reality when such has not been demonstrated, is frowned on if only because it highlights that you don't actually have an argument. Using such quotes as a weapon purely in order to 'save' or condemn someone is right out, though all cases have to be judged individually.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
