I just spotted a news article at IO9 about the fact that the majority of respondents to a survey attributed the following quote to Captain America<\/a>:<\/p>\n\u201cWe often suffer, but we are never crushed. Even when we don\u2019t know what to do, we never give up.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
That\u2019s 2 Corinthians 4:8 in the translation of the Contemporary English Version. And as most readers of this blog will know, 2 Corinthians was not written by Captain America<\/a>.<\/p>\n
The original source of the story is The Christian Post<\/em>, and their article provides further information<\/a>. The survey was apparently conducted by the American Bible Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
