    If, as they say, God spanked the town
    For being over-frisky,
    Why did He burn all the churches down
    And spare Hotaling’s Whiskey?

    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
