The Truth Shall Set You Free
I was watching Bourne Identity on DVD with Vivian this evening, and in the bonus feature section they interviewed someone who’s actually a veteran at CIA. In the interview he said that the marble walls of the lobby of the CIA Headquarters are actually inscribed with a passage from the Bible! It says
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32)
Yeah. Having seen enough Hollywood movies we all know that CIA is all about finding the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Just that they have conveniently left out the entire quote from Jesus, which starts from 8:31 and says “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”.
Ahem. Talking about mis-quoting the Bible…

The world is full of mis-qoutes and thus massive mis-understandings.
Im sure the situation in the Middle East would not be so violent if people really understood the great value of human life ALL of the religious teachings preach.
