Thread Name: Interesting bits of the Bible
Subject: Interesting bits of the Bible
Ok, I guess some people find it all interesting.

Various groups quote bits of the Bible to support a particular aspect of what the say or do without regard for other bits.

I seem to remember the Dutch Reform Church of South Africa quoting a passage about horse not being hitched to Donkies or some such thing as a reason for Apathied.

Those who oppose gay relationships have an Old Testament quote about who can lie with who, although Jesus may not have had anything much to say on that issue.

I remember a number quotes in a letter to a news paper - I think one concerned stoning women who plant carrots alongside swedes. I almost certainly have the details wrong but do you get my drift?

Does this ring a bell. Does anybody know any of these unlikely bits of the Bible?
