Your claim: John Kerry cited the wrong verse as his favorite Biblical passage.
Status: False.
Origins: Many political rumors are mundane fabrications to begin with, and they don't become any more interesting when they're recycled to make yet another political figure the target du jour. In that vein, this item is just an updating of a rumor circulated in June 1999 about then-Vice President Al Gore:
"In an important speech given this week, Al Gore attempted to portray how important his faith is in his life. He of course was trying to apply what he's learned from his mentor Clinton. Here's what happened.
In his typically stiff, condescending, and insincere manner, he said his favorite Bible verse is John 16:3. Of course, the speech writer meant 3:16, but wasn't even familiar enough with this often quoted & of course often taken for granted Scripture to catch the error. Neither was Gore, and how incredibly appropriate it is.
"And they will do this because they have not known the Father or me." - John 16:3"The irony in

This is a big step for you, you have actually admitted to one of John Kerry's positive attributes rather than sticking a bunch of unrelated adjectives in front of his name and explaining away his actions in a juvenielle manner

hi, don't know you, i'm bored and in this case my boredom led me to your journal. well, i was once christian, and as far as i can remember there was this whole thing about how swearing was bad. i don't know if you drink, though your friends seem to. in case you do, there was also this whole thing about how drinking was against christian values as well. so. if you are so down with the lord you should act like it. people like you are the reason christians are looked down upon and seen as ignorant bigot assholes. if you want your religion to get some respect then represent it in such a way that it will be given respect.
As long as we love the lord and repent, he loves us too!!! NO ONE IS PERFECT, everyone makes mistakes, everyone needs to chill out and STOP eating at each other, respect and you will be respected! Respect others opinions, Geez-La-Wheez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smack my ass too, cause my heart hurts from all the meanness! I dont know you, but I know Andrew and Jake and all them (Jake is my cousin). WASSUUUUP!
