Whether it is accurate to the letter or a total sham, the Bible is where many people turn for "severe" matters. Devout Christians try to follow the word of God, even though it may not always be possible. I am very, very far from perfect, but, when possible, if I can do the morally right thing (which usually coinsides with what the Bible states, by the way), I will.

What is it they say about silence being golden?
