Good points queenly one and I find I can share your annoyance at the airhead xtians even from outside your jewish tribe. The quotes they choose to re-purpose are the ones which on the surface can appear to say what they say. Intent of the original author be damned, there it is in black and white. Good scholarship is no hindrance to fundies.
I envy your tribe its clean and unambiguous embrace of things nerdy. My mother was a high school drop out so any assignment with a C on it was bound for the refrigerator. My father was a fundie with a capacity for math and logic but no empathic understanding of things human. Probably the only thing my tribe of origins has going for it is the ease with which I can discard all of its cultural trappings.
