Functions: What is the Goddiest line in the bible?
Sun, 03/30/2008 - 14:26 — richard.selbyTo be sure, the word God occurs a fair few times in the bible. 4117 times at least.:
SELECT count(*) FROM bible WHERE line RLIKE 'god';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 4117 |
+----------+
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
| 4117 |
+----------+
In fact 4117 is a tad on the low side. The count(*) query scores 1 point for each line with the word 'god' in it, but plenty of lines mention god twice or more. Not to mention all the other ways of naming God: Lord, Jehovah, our Father etc.
