Lauren Boebert's request for 'favorite Bible verses' did not go well -- at all

Taking a break from her usual trolling of Democrats on Twitter, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made a request from her followers to share their favorite verses from the Bible and -- as you can probably guess -- she was flooded with comments calling her out for her own transgressions while being urged to live the teaching of Jesus for a change.


After a simple "What's your favorite Bible verse?" ask, the gun-toting conservative lawmaker was deluged with an assortment of critical comments and creative non-Biblical responses.

[likesmountains 52]

5. My favorite of the many Corinthians..

[ChubbyStar]

33. Trump should have made that into an auction spiel

"Hey I got 1 Corinthian can I get 2, great let's get 3..."

[BunnyMcGee]

51. Fine Corinthian leather in my bucket seats!

[2naSalit]

57. Well that's the two Corinthians right there, bucket seats!

Mystery solved!

[BlueIdaho]

58. Two Corinthians walked into a bar...

All I need is a punch line…

[lagomorph777]

64. ...but it was run by a gun-humping kook,

...so they left.

[getagrip_already]

60. All the corinthians are saying it....

Only the best corinthians work for him.

[gratuitous]

26. 2 Cor 8:15

As it is written: "The one who gathered much did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little."

Limits on the accumulation on wealth, and distribution of the surplus to the needy is biblical. Who knew? Certainly not Lauren!

[Duncanpup]

30. Exactly

[DemDaDemDem]

8. "And when you pray...

...do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."

Matthew 6:5

Pretty well covers the whole situation, I think.

[Beachnutt]

9. Matthew 7:15

Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheeps clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves

[Under The Radar]

10. The bible defines a "liar"

1 John 2:4
Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him”

[Shrike47]

11. 'Happy shall be he who seizes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks.' Psalm 137

[Botany]

12. Judge not, that ye be not judged.

Matthew 7:1-3
King James Version

Judge not, that ye be not judged.

For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

[LakeArenal]

13. Paraphrasing. What you do to the least of these you do unto me.

Meek shall inherit the kingdom of heaven.

Tho I walk through your valley of death he will protect me... not you.

Suffer the little children to come unto me

Thou shall’t NOT lie.

Do not bear false wisdom ( typo but letting it stand) or false witness.

Do not worship golden idols.

[pazzyanne]

34. "Do not worship golden idols."

CPAC comes to mind.

[LakeArenal]

46. 😉

[Initech]

50. Yeah they literally worshipped a golden idol there!

[MoriaeEncomium]

63. LolIz!! At first glance I thought it was a typo and said "Do not worship

golden idiots."

Either way I guess.

[Xipe Totec]

14. But the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Psalms 63:11

[multigraincracker]

15. Socialist Jesus.....

[Faux pas]

16. Kickin' with gusto!

[multigraincracker]

18. K&R with mucho gusto

[TheRickles]

17. Any idea what percentage of the replies were trolling her? (approx.)

[Retrograde]

19. "The horseleach hath two daughters

crying, 'Give, give'". Not sure exactly what it's supposed to mean, but it reminds me of modern televangelists. It's Proverbs 30:15 in the King James Version.

[keithbvadu2]

27. When asking for money, they speak clearly.

When asking for money, they speak clearly.

[yonder]

32. Good one and will try to remember it.

[dweller]

20. John 11:35

Jesus wept

✌🏻

[ismnotwasm]

21. She claims hers is Isaiah 8: 18

New King James Version
Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the LORD of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion

What the fuck is even going on in that woman’s brain. Seriously. Her favorite verse. 🤦‍♀️

[pazzyanne]

35. Notice this verse comes from the Old Testament.

Conservatives tend to gravitate toward the old verses. They have a hard time with after the birth of Christ for some reason.

[SCantiGOP]

47. Exactly

Old Testament is the psychotic god who smites people for little or no reason.

Then Jesus shows up and says, Hey, forget all that, just love each other and be good to each other.

One testament snugly fits the GOP, while the other one really does sound like socialism.

[bbernardini]

22. Very pleased to see so many people responding with Ezekiel 23:30.

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

[keithbvadu2]

29. That would be MTG.

[Sibelius Fan]

31. We have a winner!!!!!!

[Dream Girl]

48. Is that a real verse????

I don’t know the Bible...kinda hard to tel.

[sir pball]

61. Yes

[Bo Zarts]

23. "It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks .."

Acts 9:5 KJV

[George II]

24. Oooh that was stupid of her. Now I've got to go check out all the comments. She's an idiot.

[Biophilic]

25. Really, who needs kink books when we have boebert's requests for favorite texts.

[MyOwnPeace]

42. Well, I DID check out the posted comments.....

....and this just might be my favorite:

"Weak of the soul are those that strap weapons to their thighs."

[George II]

43. Didn't see that one, but yes probably the best. I've tweeted to her in the past, "Is that....

....your husband's penis strapped to your thigh" since he's been known to expose himself in the past.

[Jilly_in_VA]

28. I was thinking

of the one about Queen Jezebel being thrown to the dogs, but I was too lazy to look it up.

[pazzyanne]

36. Here you go -

2 Kings 9:10

[MyOwnPeace]

39. And thanks to "W" - I know how

to use these "Inter-Webs!"

2 Kings 9:10
As for Jezebel, dogs will devour her on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.'" Then he opened the door and ran.

I guess "Jezebel" wasn't 'packin' so that she could defend herself!

[SheilaAnn]

37. This has to be one of the most interesting/funny threads in the history of DU! Love it! n/t

41. The one about separation of church and state.

found it 1A

[flibbitygiblets]

45. Good one!

Welcome to DU.

[keithbvadu2]

49. separation of church and state

[TomSlick]

54. I am a dues paying member of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

No one is a greater believer in the principle than I.

However, the phase was (as far as I can tell) first coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptists in 1802 - back when Baptists were a dissenting minority.

The closest I can find to a scriptural reference is Jesus' admonition to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's in Matthew 22:21.

[Liber T.]

66. Yeah ,I should know that .

[TomSlick]

67. No worries.

[Rhiannon12866]

56. +1000

[gopiscrap]

68. welcome to DU
