Whether or not you consider the source credible, there's wisdom in the saying, "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other." (Matthew 6:24a)

Um, things have really jumped the shark on HN if we're getting bible passages offered as startup advice - and someone upvoted it.

You'll note that the divided-focus argument was already being made. My observation is only that the passage echoes that.

Yes, thank you, I did notice that.

Feel free to make your original point but I think most people would agree bible passages (or those from the Qur'an, Torah, book of Dianetics, etc) don't have a place on HN.

This is absurd. I'm almost completely atheist but I still recognize a useful passage when I see one. The bible is a respected piece of literature. Judge the words based on their merit not on their source.
