Usually that bible book is vague, which means the Christianists get to interpret it in whatever wild and wacky way they want. They really need a bible that is a bit more explicit to convince me, I'm afraid.

Responses to my challenge at the end of this article are trickling in, but so far, none of them are filling the bill. Let me explain what is not an appropriate reply:
Cackling that Coulter must be right because she's got "liberal panties in a twist" is not cogent.
Telling me that the "WHOLE BOOK…
I'm trying to get back into my routine, after being really devastated by losing my
dog. To people who don't love dogs, it probably seems silly to be so upset over an animal, but
he was really a member of the family, and losing him really knocked me for a loop.
I'm trying to first get caught up on…
The Turkish creationist sunk a whole lot of money sending an elaborate creationist book to thousands of biologists. I'm sure he felt he was doing us a favor in sending us the light, but most of the recipients were feeling something less pleasant — it's like receiving a gilded dead rat in the mail.…
The theme of this month's Scientiae carnival is "Added Weight: Taking up Space." This theme is very timely for me, since I've been thinking about this topic lately---a lot. And, readers of the old blog may remember that my "theme" for the year is FEARLESS. Well, you can't really be fearless if…
2000 years of myths and fairy tales condensed to five or six paragraphs....a little short on details, but I like.

Thanks Paul, for the link to my humour piece.
In case, folks are interested, it's actually a sequel to another piece I wrote for McSweeney's. And since I'm here, with willing and writing-capable eyes reading, let me just say that after the winter holidays, the SCQ is a little lower than usual in the submissions department, and I invite readers to play.
lol!
Not as funny as Olde Charlie Farquharson's Testament by Don Harron though. God: "I made you frum dust, so you may as well work by the sweat of yer brow. Dust plus sweat is dirt, and that's all you are to me from now on."
'Burning bush' indeed. What a lark! What has always amazed me is that if you were to take the bible and cunningly disguise it by substituting names, titles, places and overall aspects of the culture, then make a movie out of it, you'd surely be looking at the most ridiculous of science fiction takes worthy of appearing on the next installment of MST3000.
How people can follow something with such fervor yet if confronted with the exact same scenarios under a different setting are prone to laugh it off as fiction?

David Ng's scriptural writings are way more interesting than the original. He could give lessons to Henry Morris III, who quotes the Bible to console his readers about the takeover of Congress by "the other political party". I guess it's the-party-that- must-not-be-named. How discreet!
Here's the best condensed version (and the only really good lesson from) the New Testament:

But David, our Darwin was seasick for 5 years.
But that means he wasn't an unrighteous phony, I guess ...
Oh, never mind!
Let's not forget all the translations it's been throug. And lingual shifts. And the editing for content. Ah the Apophrica. How Mary Magdline pisses off some people I know.
