There are all sort of fun things in the Bible, especially the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Vast amounts of Genesis is a retelling of the Gilgamesh Epic and/or is trying to counteract other gods and religions, not by saying there is only one god but by saying god is the most powerful of them all.

I love this reference from the flood story, often understood throughout history as referring to giants as well as angels:

Genesis 6:2,4
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days— and also afterwards— when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

Whoever says the Bible is boring hasn't read it properly!

My favourite has always been " Better to put your seed in the belly of a whore, than to spill it on the Earth"

The Bible approves of Inara!

That just opened up the image of a whole raft of Book/Jayne/Inara interaction that I've decided not to pursue.

So midori, are you pushing that Intellegent Design theory here?

Well, now you've done it.
My inspiration kicked in the other night, and delivered hald\f of a genius idea, the setup for a whole genre of jokes:

"A mercenary, a Companion, and a Shepard walk into a bar--".

Unfortunately, that's where inspiration quit. I've got some ironic but not funny punch lines, and no middle story.

Anybody out theregot a follow-up?

now spinland, what on earth is wrong with Book/Jayne/Inara? I think that would provide a worthwhile and exciting *ahem* relationship. Dodgy fan-fiction is required, anybody?

A very interesting site - I like the conclusions about dinosaurs, although I'm not sure I buy the rational for dinosaurs breathing fire.

I do find it amusing that in the "How Do You Know The Bible Is True?" section, it claims:

Quote:

However, Christianity is not a blind faith. It is the only religion that can prove itself, and a main source of that proof is the Bible.


So, essentially it's saying that if one needs proof that the Bible is true, one should just read the Bible, because the Bible proves itself to be true. Circular logic is always fun to argue with!
