Kelsey Grammar has always been a bible bashing whack job.
Just go look up his late night interview where he talks about how he randomly opens the bible to answer the question ‘how long will I live for?’ And is satisfied that god answers him by saying he will live to 160 (or some other ridiculous figure I can’t remember).
Seriously he thinks the bible is a magic eight ball and god is guiding what page it turns to.
"God, what awaits me today?"

"oh."
Don't you mean "bible thumping"? Bible bashing is what I do when I call it horse shit.
Not OP, but where I'm from (NZ), bible bashers are what we call overly religious nuts who have to shoehorn god/bible into everything.
Ok but like... I just realized there's nothing stopping me from using random books like this and it seems kinda fun
I mean it can be
Lol this guy's jizz doesn't make him invisible.
Well duh, you are immune to your own jizz
Non sequitur
I seem to remember that you're fairly explicitly not supposed to use it like that. Because it's akin to fortune telling or something which is supposed to be bad under the Bible, a broken clock and all that.
No it is totally valid, people use fortune cookies the same way, if you look for these synchronicities you can have some weird predictions of the future or get a general Vibe for the way things are going. You aren't supposed to take it too literally though.
Well I mean it's all somewhat arbitrary but technically, according to the Bible itself, no you're not supposed to use it like that.
