scriptural authority

     People who cite scripture at others--meaning that it applies to the victim of this verbal barrage, but not to the speaker--can be maddening. There are worse things, however--people who cite pop songs, giving them the same scriptural authority. I originally thought they were just being clever--but I have since learned that they believe that many pop song lyrics are from the Bible. You know, "imagine there's no heaven"-- "only love can break a heart"-- "I can't give you anything but love.." -- and many more. This, too, is actually being taught to students at a school, somewhere--perhaps a religious school, or a set of schools. Any pop song that actually takes its lyrics from the Bible ( remember Turn, Turn, Turn? ) only seems to produce consternation.
