In a speech by Al Gore (I don't remember which one) he stated that he has always been a deeply religious man and that his religion is important to him. To emphasize his point he stated that John 16:3 is his favorite Bible verse. I believe he may have meant John 3:16 which reads "For God so loved the world, he gave his one and only son, that whosoever believes in him will not perish but have everlasting life." John 16:3 reads "They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me." Evidently neither he or his speech writers know their Bible well enough to realize their HUGE mistake.
