Why do people in this category always answer using quotes from the Bible instead of their own oppinion?

Seems like everybody is trying to convince the others instead of giving personal opinions about the matter.
Am I right?

Because they have no opinion and try to make themselves seem smart by going to the bible and adding a quote.

Because it's their personal opinion that The Bible is the best source for substianting their opinions....there are quotes in the Bible that allign with their own thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Just like a philospher will most likely quote Aristotle or Plato, whichever their belief system alligns with.

Case in point - "Dixie" (above) says that all answers to life come from the Bible....

Personal opinion matters nothing when talking spirituality. People use Bible quotes when they base their opinions on a Biblical foundation for their lives. In case you don't know it, the answer to any and all questions about life are found in the Bible.

If you don't believe in the bible or God , the verses mean nothing. But to the christian or muslim using the quotes it affirms their opinion. Since this is the spiritual thread our opinions means very little. But for a spiritual person needing a spiritual answer, only God can say it best.

When you are in a courtroom, why doesn't a lawyer use HIS personal opinion? Obviously, a lawyer has no mind of his own if all he can do is quote established law--as if that is some kind of an argument.

When you stand before God, do you think that personal opinion is going to matter a whit?

OK Bill, truce. Sorry about the pushy remark.
