Mmmh. I wouldn't say scriptures are completely useless. They could be
and are indeed in many cases very useful. But I would say to use the
scriptures without any context, without any context to life itself is
questionable. So when posting texts in a discussion-list, it would be
interesting to know what people themself are intending to show about it.
