Atheist Appreciation of Biblical Wisdom and Inspiration

Thread copied here from the Atheist Appreciation of Biblical Wisdom and Inspiration thread in the Proposed New Topics forum.

I'm greatly disappointed. Out of 46 posts only 4 provided information from the Bible considered to be wise or inspirational. (Message 4, Message 7, Message 24, Message 38) The disagreements popping up don't even deal with whether these verses provide wisdom or inspiration.This thread is a chance for Christians to provide verses, stories, or chapters from the Bible that they feel provide wisdom and inspiration for today.This is a chance for Christians to explain why they feel the verses they provided contain wisdom and/or inspiration for today.This isn't about prophecy or when the canon was finished or whether Christians display more wisdom than non-Christians.Please stop the useless one-liners. The next one to do so in this thread will be suspended for 24 hours no matter when I catch it. Please direct any comments concerning this Administrative msg to the Report Discussion Problems Here 3.0 thread.

Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour suspension.Thank you
