Does anybody read the bible passages (verses) that people give to back up their answers?

Question

Or even the ones that sometimes appear as part of a question?
Be honest!! ;))

Answer 1

I do. And I've read them all before. And most of them do NOT support their statements.

Answer 2

I do if I have a question about the use. I will even talk it over with those who know the Bible better than I. Sometime after reading it the only thing I can say is "WHAT!!!?

Answer 3

I don't, usually because I don't need to read them. I already know what they say. And partially because most of the spiritual arguments on here are started by people who have been indoctrinated by the media and haven't much of an idea what they are talking about.

Answer 4

I do if it's part of the question. It would be impossible to answer the question honestly otherwise.

If it's part of the answer, I do if it's one I don't know or in a version I'm not familiar with. Otherwise, I just kinda skip over it.

Answer 5

No, I give them an immediate thumbs down so I won't have to scroll through them twice. If you can't think of a short succinct answer, then don't bother.

Answer 6

If it's only a couple of lines, yes. If it's a couple of paragraphs, no. And if it's a couple of screens, I scroll to the end and thumbs-down it so others don't have to deal with scrolling through it unless they choose to.

Answer 7

Yes, because they usually omit the verse before and after, which ends up contradicting their statement.

Answer 8

Of course. How else can you judge how accurate or well thought out and supported an answer is?

Answer 9

Sure do, There ain't nothing, like reading the bible

Answer 10

That is within the intellect of the person answering and questioning.
