Question to religious types

[Insula Dei]

As a Catholic, I do find it bizarre when people are using Bible quotes (often with very little eye for the spirit of the text in casu, which frequently could be unearthed by even a very casual lecture) as if they are the logical final point of a discussion. I'd be tempted to say that they should be the beginning of a disussionn, theological or otherwise. But this is, I suppose, very beside the question.

Also surprising is how many American evangelicals seem to deem it important to stress they only came towards a position of belief trough some sort of epiphany. I can't see how an epiphany is necessary after the ultimate epiphany of the Holy Scripture.
