Bible bullies

Mike (named in the audio as the host who 'has had it about up to here') vents about 'Bible bullies': people who respond to a Facebook prayer request not with a simple 'I'm praying' but with verses that imply the asker has lost faith — illustrated by someone replying 'Philippians 7, 8' to a post about a sick family member. The hosts debate intent versus tone (verses of hope versus verses of rebuke), swap Facebook habits (typing and abandoning replies, Dan's story about nearly posting a jab about his daughter's boyfriend), joke about 'Jabs for Idiots' zinger books and Zig Ziglar, and land that correction-style verses can wound people who only asked for prayer.
