“I think the good book says don’t throw stones in glass houses” Obama makes up Bible verse!

[acptulsa]

Came here special, just to rep this, after seeing it in Deb's sig line.

Found out I already did.

Don't look at me. I repped it last year too.

Damn computer should be taught how to forget after a while.

It doesn't use the "glass houses" words, but it does have a line about "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and "judge not lest ye be judged".

Not that you understand what those things mean.

"A dagger in the dark is worth a thousand swords at dawn."
-Ezekiel 4:17

"A questioning servant is more dangerous than an ignorant heretic."
-Romans 5:12

"Blessed is the mind too small for doubt."
-Peter 3:15

I used to take "motivational" quotes from a religious, fascist galactic empire within a dystopian science fiction setting and pass them off as Bible quotes...and it worked every time. My father did the same at work and fooled even the church-goers. The game is to start out with things that are somewhat vague, and then slowly introduce quotes that can obviously not be from the Bible, but to see how far you can go. One day, someone finally got it when I quoted, "Fear not the alien, the psyker, the mutant. -Paul 7:13" LOL

If anyone is curious, the game is Warhammer 40,000: http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Thought_for_the_day_(A_-_H)

He can't possibly be talking about the bible, because he said it was a good book.

Throwing stones at glass houses is good for the economy.

Rumors about Obama trying to pass Koranic verses as Biblical also seem to be baseless.

It's not paraphrasing. It's misquoting and not giving credit where credit is due. Dude has writers. And fact checkers. Supposedly.

Obama said: “I think the good book says don’t throw stones in glass houses”

The "I think" shows that he wasn't sure, and makes it much more likely that he was expressing a Biblical idea instead of giving a word-for-word quote.

There is a broken window fallacy, but not a broken house fallacy.

I try not to judge people , obviously not my job , however , it would be easier if they were not stealing from me.

You're paying attention to it. Guess that's because you voted for Obama.
