I'm always impressed with how you guys can DO that. How the HECK do you
remember the verses and chapters in such detail?


Search engines. I can do it, too! (And, part of my upbringing included
being required to commit 160 passages of scripture to memory long
enough to recite it back to a teacher.)

But what you've probably seen here, since it's very similar to many of
the atheist missives I've seen trying to steer people clear of the
Bible through a combination of out-of-context quoting and the fallacy
of misleading vividness, is paraphrased from something that's been
around for a long, long time.
