1. Matthew 6:5-6
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

10. I quoted that to some religious people once
Edited on Wed Mar-02-05 05:03 PM by Revolutionary_Acts04
when we were having this discussion about school prayer and stuff on this MSN message board and one of the people said I can't remember the exact wording but it was along the lines of,

"if you're going to quote scripture, quote the whole thing not just parts of it."

I about died laughing.

16. Throw the whole chapter at them.
Matthew 6 has a ton of great advice for today's "Christians."

“Be careful not to do your ‘acts of righteousness’ before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

“No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

19. Oh I get it.
The flip side of their comment is funny, too. For instance, how many times have you seen John 3:16 displayed without any context?

7. "Power to the sheeple!"
Not great, but there it is. They are a good little flock of sheeple, though.
