This is the second branch now off of my original idea list on this. I want to write "The Book" - take significant passages from the Bible and show how they interweave with all other religions. BUT I want to write this with the NotePD community. I'll add anyone's name who contributes with their own list. You can either branch off this or write in the comments. whatever.
1. CHRISTIANITY - "Let the dead bury the dead".

59 He said to another man, “Follow me.”
But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”

He didn't mean, of course, let a dead person bury another dead person.
But he's saying metaphorically, don't stay involved in the affairs of other spiritually dead people. Come and join the path of spiritual growth.
All the time we get enmeshed in our petty lives when each moment you can move towards whatever you view as "spiritual growth" (or, this can even be applied to more traditional goals of success).
