Secular vs Solomon

  • Why is the day of death better than the day of birth?
  • Does the Bible forbid calling someone a fool?

The hosts play Secular vs Solomon: the host reads nine proverbs and the other hosts guess biblical (Solomon) or worldly (Secular), naming a country of origin for secular ones. Results: ‘no wise response to a foolish remark’ (secular, Romania); ‘be not quick in your spirit to become angry’ (Solomon, Ecclesiastes 7:9); ‘the ear that listens to life-giving reproof’ (Solomon, Proverbs 15:31); ‘a cat goes to a monastery’ (secular, Ethiopia); ‘a good name is better than precious ointment’ (Solomon, Ecclesiastes 7:1); ‘the lazier a man is, the more he plans to do tomorrow’ (secular, Norway); ‘even when the fool walks on the road’ (Solomon, Ecclesiastes 10:3); ‘the sparrow flying behind the hawk’ (secular, Japan); ‘woe to the house where the hen crows’ (secular, Spain). Tangents include Matthew 5:22 on calling someone a fool, why the day of death beats the day of birth, and passive husbands who hand the funnel to their wives.
