Anyone who starts a hashtag campaign should know by now that these things never go as intended. So when the hashtag #TheBibleHasTaughtMe starting making the rounds yesterday, it fell into the hands of some secular-minded folks who shared their own, albeit sarcastic, experiences.
The idea was for people to share how the bible has impacted their lives. Unfortunately, not everyone has had a positive experience.
That’s not to say that the campaign didn’t churn out thousands of glowing reviews, like these:
#TheBibleHasTaughtMe that no matter what I'm going through, I can turn my eyes to Jesus and He will always accept me with open arms. †

#TheBibleHasTaughtMe that power can easily turn a message of love into hate.

Here are a few of the best ones (in my opinion):
#TheBibleHasTaughtMe that there are always "rolling papers" available in a hotel room.

#TheBibleHasTaughtMe four stories about the same thing can wildly contradict each other, but still all be completely without error. Glory!

#TheBibleHasTaughtMe slavery is just fine, you are obligated to sacrifice your daughter to YHWH to keep a vow, but don't mix linen and wool.

#TheBibleHasTaughtMe that there have been self-righteous pricks trying to push their agenda & supress the masses for thousands of years.
