I find this picture particularly amusing:

I guess it's funny because the dialogue really is straight from the Bible. I also like this one:

The caption reads: "And they stoned him with stones until he was dead, as Yahweh had ordered."

The caption reads: "And as the Church is subject to Christ, so should wives be to their husbands, in everything."

Mind you, it's not quite so funny when you realize that there are people who take this seriously.

Wonderful, mylord! That was pretty funny, with the Conan thing and the real-life references. I hate to sound impatient, but it's about time that site is updated!

I like this one.
Psalms


Fear God, love God, worship God, etc. The Book of Psalms is a book of "devotionals", in which the Israelites basically sing the praises of God over and over. Naturally, it's a huge book.
LMFAO!
"<The South> Israel will rise again!"
ROFLMAO!!
(describing fully half the 'Epistles' section) Small-talk and repetition.

Darth Wong wrote: Song of Solomon

The last in a 5-book series of devotionals, parables, prayers, songs, poems, etc. This one seems to be a love song of some sort. Obviously, the people who selected material for inclusion in the Bible were big fans of Solomon's poetry.

Message of this book: "Even the Bible can pander to celebrities".
I always thought the message of SoS was: "Bomp-chika-boomp-BOW-woomp-bowwow!" :mrgreen:

Oh, and it's designed to piss off egyptians, as in egyptian religion you need a body to enter the afterlife. IOW the message is: "piss off God and he will drown you. And you wouldn't like that would you mr Pharoah?"
Unless triumph=kill kill kill, that is :wink:

I LOVE THE BRICK TESTAMENT! I haven't seen that many toys having sex since my sister and her friends had Barbies.
Image
The young man did not hesitate to do this, because he took delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the most honored in his father's house.

Although you must admit it is interesting that they have the new testament ordering oral sex.

Quick and trivial point: It's the book of Revelation, not Revelations, or at least that's how it is in my NIV.

I must say, the thing about Job well just got used in a debate with someone who tried to use the "orion's belt loosening" as a sceintific proof of the bible.
