I don't think it matters that most of these and the other worthwhile bits are - in context - to get one in good with God. They, in and of themselves, are good advice and to reject them simple because they appear in the Bible, is, well...nutty.

No, I know, and I understand that you want people to participate in your threads, but next time, perhaps keep the problems with the bible in one, instead of separating each and single one (and Loki knows there's material for several!)?
And what do you mean silly? I'm not silly! (*Kay is blatantly lying*)
OH SNAP!!
