At this point in Thread, I have used 561 scriptures.
The goal I had set for this thread was 600 scriptures, obviously it will require more; so I am setting a new goal of 1,000 scriptures.
I don't think proof texts matter much here...as is what agrees to conscience, reason, logic, fairness, justice and mercy. You can throw a thousand verses at insanity and it still wouldn't cure it.
