Do they actually think this is helpful? Have they considered this may be offensive to those of other faiths?
Surely this practice is only going to be of comfort to somebody who is also a Christian, iIn which case they have, surely, read the bible and it has not provided them with the answer to their question - repeating it probably isn't going to change anything.
For non-Christians, this is simply going to be either confusing, irrelevant, insulting, annoying - or any combination of these.
Is it that these people are so indoctrinated, they are unable to have a thought or emotion of their own? Or is it that they are so bigoted, they cannot comprehend the possibility that their personal belief system may not actually be the be all and end all of any action, thought or emotion experienced anywhere in the universe?
Certainly there is a place for qutation in reasoned discussion of the wider issues of the subject- but not everyone wants it.
Cue unsolicited biblical quotes..
