I know why this crowd downvoted you, but "Try to find a Christian Mechanic, open on Sunday? No David you are bunking with us."

Line out of a movie.

If I know a person lies some of the stuff in a book that teaches honestly, and kindness; they are my first choice for anything.

Are they more talented than let's say a Zuck? No. Would I trust them with my money, or the keys to my house? Yes.

(I don't need a debate. I'm not a bible thumper. I know the bible has some crazy ideas. I do think some people need a reminder that ethics are important, or at least appreciated in some crowds. Do you need a book in order to be a respectable person-- no.)

I have no interest in the “god” concept and I think the Bible is the most overrated book around. Also, I know it’s bad form to talk about comment voting, and I’ve never done it before. But I saw the greyed-out vanitas comment and gave it my upvote to undo a bit of the damage. I mean, come on.
