The devil can cite scripture for his purpose
The line quoted from the play 'Merchant of Venice' by William Shakespeare is equally pertinent in today's world. The use of the scriptures for personal motivated purposes is rampant nowadays. People of all walks of life, be it service, business, politics, philosophy or religion, use the scriptural quotations as per their own whims and fancy to meet their personal end goals. The meaning of the verses from the scriptures are twisted and turned to fit their own requirements. The businessmen use it to justify their manipulations and adulterations, the lawyers use it to win a case by hook or crook. The philosophers use the scriptural questions to prove their points, however unjust that may be. The most horrifying amongst these is, the pseudo-religious pretenders, dressed like monks, use the scriptural injunctions to justify their position as a godman. Such rampant use of scriptures by the devils of current generations is causing a degradation of the morale standard of the society. General populace having good faith on the religion and religious scriptures get easily swayed by these pretenders which may cause havoc on their individual lives and the society as whole.
