Question Help with Bible quote!!
Can any of you give ol' Sir Drinks-a-lot a hand?

I am looking for a bible quote where god says something to the effect of disliking those who are undecided about religion more than those who are decided either way. (liking theists and strong atheists better than agnostics)

Does this ring any bells with anyone? Does anyone have the quote?

Revelations
3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 3:16So because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spew thee out of my mouth.

If it is anywhere it would be in Ecclesiastics.

Vesica's reference above seems right to me. If that's not it, how about James 1:5-8...

Quote:
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
Neither of these verses seems to imply that God likes atheists, however. Now you've got my curiosity piqued...

I'm going to move this to Biblical Criticism- no doubt the experts there will point it out. Far as I recall myself, Vesica's is the only verse anywhere close...
