Lately it seems people want to quote Bible scriptures. I've never been one to memorize scriptures or quote scriptures. Much less understand why some people think it's so important to quote scriptures. Most of the time when I encounter people like this I walk away or I just tune them out and they eventually realize I'm not listening.
With the social network age upon us I often encounter this online especially on Facebook. My News Feed can get cluttered with people quoting scriptures and I have to either hide the post or refresh. This is when having over 350 "friends" on my page comes in handy because there is almost always somebody posting. Problem is these people think they have to post several religious postings - I guess they know people like me miss a lot of status updates due to the amount of friends I have and how frequent they post. Yeah, I'm being a little sarcastic with that last statement.
What I don't understand is why these people feel the need to quote scriptures and often try converting someone to their beliefs. I converted to Judaism on my own nobody approached me. This was something in my heart that was there for a long time and I never said anything until I knew in my heart I was making the right decision. But my decision is for me. I don't believe anyone has to claim a religion or even attend worship services. Why do others think they're responsible for someone else's choices? We're all only responsible for ourselves and the decisions we make not what everyone else decides.
These same people who are quoting scriptures and posting are the same ones that if you look at their pages and the comments they make in various threads are hpypocritical. If you're going to preach it then you need to LIVE IT! I really just don't have time for folks like this.
