revamping the Bible

Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

sort of gives new meaning to phrases like:

Blessed is the man who walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly. - Psalm 1:1

because it goes from meaning "don't surround yourself with people who aren't Christian and don't worship God" to meaning "don't surround yourself with people who do not see and strive for the divinity within them."

I would rather stand by a person who is truly Godlike, or tries to be, than a person who bows to a God in the sky, without knowing or trying to emulate said God in his life and actions.
