Less Godwin, More God Lose

I've been following a couple of casual debates online in recent weeks and noticed several contributors have attempted to issue a "and that's final" rebuttal by quoting either text or references from the Bible as if this should be the last word on the subject in question. This is a frustrating way of entering a discussion, be it online or in person and feels like the equivalent of folding one's arms and saying "because I said so". It's an intellectual cop out and holds no greater merit for making the case against than quoting a song lyric back to me as your counter-argument.

This got me thinking about Godwin's Law for the mention of beliefs held by Hitler and whether there was a parallel for discussion where an argument is immediately lost upon quoting a book and passage number from the Bible. In fact I'd accept any acknowledged religious text here, but Christianity is where we start. The number of times in the real world phrases such as "The good book teaches us that" crop up, there should be term for its usage out there already, surely? So far I haven't located one, but I'll continue to rummage in the hope there is one - as there certainly should be ... or we'll create it.
