I've been reading the bible and thought I was prepared for it being "boring" at parts but I got to numbers and I can't imagine skipping certain sections of the Old Testament would impede my understanding of the whole text very much.

That verse doesn't exist as such. The mention of Mt 21 etc. Is as close as you will get as far as mentioning a cornerstone, but it's specifically about Jesus. The sentiment behind the original question would be exemplified by the following:
>Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
--Mt. 16:24 (cf. Mk. 8:34, Lk. 9:23)

I feel like it has something to do with making yourself useful to the community rather than being concerned about yourself. But that's another good verse.

Of course it's a cliche to attach a verse to a short story, but I think I'd like to invert that somehow -- but it has some connection a short story idea I have going.

>Of course it's a cliche to attach a verse to a short story

It's called an epigraph and it's so cliché that it's tradition.

Don't be afraid of doing something conventional if the convention is good.

>making yourself useful to the community
One way this is made explicit throughout the OT and the NT both is the concern for widows and orphans, such as leaving crops for them to gather for themselves (Deut. 24:20-21). A NT corollary would be, e.g., James 1:27. The best as always would be the words of Jesus:
>34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
>37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
>40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
--Mt. 25:34-40 (the verses after give the flip side of this)

While I certainly see an argument for the long relationship between humanity and the divine (I also see the argument for humans tending to find patterns when there are none), exclusionary biblical literalism is the most intellectually dishonest shit I have ever read. Find evangelical arguments trying to reconcile the differences in the synoptic accounts, or dancing away from Mark 10:18, or cherry picking daniel and revelations to come up with dispensationalist/rapture theology. It is embarrassing to read.

I dont deny that Jesus could be the/a Son of God (I sincerely hope he is), and I dont deny the moral foundations of his message, but claiming that Atheists somehow require more intellectual rigor in their arguments than Christians is a lie. They can merely say "I see nothing, I hear nothing, these books that tell me something is out there are thousands of years old and scholars have torn them to pieces.
