I can only speak for myself - I don't like using
Biblical passages because 1) I'm not Christian, 2)
Christianity is the dominant religion in the US, 3) I
don't like the ideas it espouses, 4) it is
controversial (in interpretation and so on).
If it's going to be a religious text, I'd MUCH
rather a fictional religion's texts were used, even if
they were monotheistic.
