I bought some cheap Chinese 2-way radios. The packaging has a big American flag and a “Designed in U.S.A.” claim, which I suspect is bullshit given the company involved. Also, there are two Bible verses referenced. This smacks of pandering to a particular slice of conservative Americans. All I want is cheap radios for skiing with my kids next winter, not a reminder of my country’s socio-political bullshit.

    John 3:16 is an all-time well known verse. Only one I could say without looking it up.

        This is one of my personal favorites as well.

        My friend likes to use Hebrews 16:4… Because Hebrews only has 13 chapters. She uses it as a sort of litmus test to see if people actually know what they’re talking about. Apparently everyone she mentions it to just starts talking about how it’s such a beautiful verse, and they like it too. She said I’m the only person who has ever called her out on the fact that her “favorite” verse doesn’t exist…

        I’m an agnostic atheist, and she leads her bible study group. She always jokes that I studied my bible better than anyone in her study group.
