KIBBUTZ MAANIT, Israel (Reuters) - A Texas oilman is using his Bible as a guide to finding oil in the Holy Land.

John Brown, a born-again Christian and founder of Zion Oil & Gas of Dallas, can quote chapter and verse about his latest drilling venture in Israel, where his company has an oil and gas exploration licence covering 96,000 acres.

"Most blessed of sons be Asher. Let him be favoured by his brothers and let him dip his foot in oil," Brown quotes from Moses's blessing to one of the 12 Tribes of Israel in Deuteronomy 33:24.

Brown said he raised money for "Project Joseph" from fellow evangelical Christians in the United States.

1. Idiocy!

"Good" for him that he doesn't have real investors lining his pockets... When his team fails to find oil, then what will they say?

2. maybe he could come over to my house and help me find my car keys

5. Uh, I'm no bible scholar, but I don't think that passage refers to...

7. And we all know the bible is a blue print on how to run an oil business.

We all get rich following its advice </sarcasm> Blessed are the poor.

8. Jesus has a message for Mr. Brown:

9. The solution to the whole fundie problem!!!

All we have to do is dream up stupid hair-brained Bible-based schemes and talk them into giving us all their money. They won't have any money left to fund the Repugs.

10. So the question becomes

how do we find the stockmarket investment patterns hidden in the bible. :)

11. Create an Amway-type company.

That'd do the trick.
