Zombies rising from the dead the instant another person died nearby, hanging around inside their tombs with nothing to eat or drink for a weekend, then emerging from their tombs on a Sunday morning and going back into town to check on their friends and families, and nobody made a big deal of it.

Yeah, again, Lot's daughters raping him was so wrong.

First read that bit when I was like 10. It was from that day that I stopped reading the bible from the perspective that I believed in it.

Was this post supposed to make any kind of sense? What does getting cancer have to do with me saying there is some wisdom in the Bible even though one may find many things shocking or absurd through out it. Re-read my post after you've at least graduated from junior high school. By the way your pointing out how my user name is spelled Wisdumb was pretty damn clever! by the way since I know you wont get that, it was sarcasm. If you don't know what sarcasm is go to www.dictionary.com

Knows the God of Abraham!

Preachers yakkity yak a streak
And waste your time of day
But of Balaam, they never speak
Or try to explain it away

Go straight to the Mass
And ask the ass
He'll give you an answer that might just pass
You never heard of a talking ass?
Well, listen to this:
"I am Balaam's Ass!"
She was a 'Jenny'. My reaction to the passages was altogether different from yours. I could almost smell that greasy, pompous asshole. We nailed him but good. We let him know how he could go 10 years into the future (going to mountain) to mess up Moses et al, but didn't tell him that there can't be 2 of anything existing at the same time, so he had to die before he saw his own meddling in the future.

If you were to use a Strongs and look up all references to asses you might see an interesting set of patterns.

Ouch!

Your name suggests you subscribe to the Biblical notion that all Human wisdom/knowledge in foolish in comparison to God. Therefore it is very pertinant that I ask you what you would do if you got cancer, as you would be put in a position where human knowledge/wisdom could save your life. I am asking what would you do? would you see a doctor or ask God for cure?

Revelation 19 - Jesus returns in all his glory, and part of the operation is to send an angel out ahead as a scout, whose primary purpose is to gather enough vultures together to clean up the mess of bodies that Jesus is about to make - The angel called the vultures and invited them to "the great supper of God."

(Here's a great trick: Ask one of your Christian friends if they are looking forward to participating in the "Great Supper of God"...

I can't remember the exact place, but isn't there a part where Moses (I think it's Moses) wrestles with God and Moses wife cuts of their sons foreskin and blesses the kid with it, which makes God give up and go home? Completely out of the blue.

Paraphrased ending of Job:

God says to Jobs friend's : "Job has spoken rightly of me, saying these things." These things about him being unfair, unjust, a tyrant etc...

God turns to Job and says : "What're you gonna do about it, bitch? I'm god! Take it!"

Essentially. But then he gets his shit back anyway. Crazy stuff.

A fun WTF is the following:

Song of Solomon 5:4 "And my beloved thrust his hand into the opening, and my inmost being yearned for him."

Gets the bible-scholar chicks hot, it does.
