"Unfortunately, the only thing I learned is that HN threads are not to be taken off-topic."
Then you learned something that I don't believe is true. HN threads are taken off-topic all the time.
You just took this thread somewhere that most people don't believe belongs on hacker news. That's all.
Politics, religion, sports, and popular culture are areas probably better served elsewhere.
I made the mistake of saying the word "Bible" to illustrate that oppotunities can come from the least expected places. Next time I'll say, "At a group meeting..." Sorry.
I hope your bad mood is from the down votes and not anything anyone said here. I also get frustrated by downvoters who don't comment. I hope you will continue to love HN in spite of this.
Once again, I am willing to continue this discussion off-line. I think the community has made it clear that's where it belongs. This is my last post in this thread. Since I have no other way of contacting you, your move.

I know it perfectly well, and usually I love HN exactly because of it, but right now I'm in too much of a bad mood to appreciate it.
