My own take on the question has more or less been expressed already by others (get out of my head!!!!) Basically, if the discussion is on the subject of scriptural references, or if someone decides that using such a reference bolsters whatever point they're making, then I don't really have a problem with it. It's only when bible/kerrang/whatever verses are doled out in place of a point, as if they somehow carry any authoritative weight when nothing like that is ever established, that's when I label it as spam. It's exactly the same as discussions in which someone does nothing but throw out endless quotes from authority figures from any field, as though a patchwork quilt is the same as intelligent discourse. If I ask a question (about anything other than a bible story) and the only response is some eclectic bible quote, it doesn't make the question go away.
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.'
