Here is my favorite Bible verse related to programming. I subtitle it, "God, calling a function."

"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." -- Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)

Surely it's Romans 11:36: "All things come from God, through God, and return to God." As we can see, God does not use continuation-passing style.

Iunno, not having a 'void' return type sounds pretty functional to me.
Unless of course your function has a void return type
