You might try ma.gnolia.com, which is a brand new bookmarking service I saw. Their service is by invite only, but I entered my email address into their site and got an invite pretty fast. Ma.gnolia.com uses the comma to separate tags, so "self reliance" works fine there.
There is also furl.net, which I think is the academic alternative to del.icio.us. It can save a copy of the entire page you've tagged, so if it's a news article that might disappear in a few weeks you'll still have it.
I personally still use and love del.icio.us. I agree that your vision for a tagged version of the scriptures would be very nice. I'd be interested to hear any developments on this idea in the future.
