What a relief. Most of these things aren't true, which means we don't live in this dystopian "Upside down land".

We do apparently live in tiny annoying font land though.

Or, in the case of Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), they simply let him sell his house for $400,000 less than he owes on it and his mortgage company eats the loss.

From 2 Corinthians 4
'We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair...'

Well, you're troubled, distressed, and always perplexed, so you only got one out of four.

Amazing how a steady diet of FOX News can just kill one's ability to think rationally.

"You can write a post like this just by reading the news headlines in the media."

---Only if you get your "news" from the opinion pages and talk radio because you lack even a basic understanding of the difference between opinion and news, favoring the childish rants of opinion talkers over the boring facts of a news show..

Gruaud-- the correct reference is 2 Corinthians 4:8 and 9.
2Cor 4:8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;
2Cor 4:9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;
2Cor 4:10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.
Also added verse 10 in case you might tend to take your quotes out of context.

Thanks, but the point remains. And which version of the Bible is that? There are dozens, capped by the KJV where the writers had a poor understanding of Hebrew; thus, it is filled with errors.

Also: Christians quote the Bible out of context all the time.

We call that cherry picking.
