This thread reminds me of a few services I've attended where the Minister picked
one of these more "colorful" quotes from the Bible and "re-phrased" it in modern language -
to sound REALLY controversial!

The first 10 minutes of the sermon were a series of plays on the words ...
building up to an illogical conclusion of what the writers "must have meant".
THEN he'd get serious and expound upon what they "should have said".
