Interpretation
This is a satirical, Hitchens-style parody of John 3:16. By replacing the promise of salvation with the jab that the believer “will believeth in anything,” the line ridicules credulity and suggests that religious faith can train the mind to accept claims without adequate evidence. The mock-biblical diction (“believeth”) and the invented citation “Hitchens 3:16” mimic scriptural authority to undermine it, implying that scripture’s rhetorical power can be imitated—and that its authority is, in part, a matter of style and cultural deference rather than demonstrable truth.
