    Growing up, I was always told to remember John 3:16. As I get older, I become more and more partial to John 2:15.

        John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life

        John 2:15 - And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;

        Basically: when young, God and Jesus loves you. As I get older, I’m not above whipping and flipping tables at people who continue to use the religion as an excuse to hurt and subjugate others.
