A Bible verse that is strangely plastered on the back of a Virginia pick-up truck has inspired quite a bit of frustration, anger and concern in recent days among those who have seen it.  The scripture reference to 1 Corinthians 14:34, which is scrawled in large, white letters on the back of the truck, reads, “Women shall be silent and submissive.”

Other accompanying messages proclaim, “Read your Bible” and “God said it. Believe it.” Three crosses and a Jesus fish also round out the controversial design.  Truck owner Tom Hicks — who said he first posted the verse on his truck five years ago — told WTVR-TV that the messaging has sparked quite a bit of anger among locals, with images of the truck making their way onto social media and into the news.
