I know this guild has always been about serious discussion, but we all have to admit that some things in the Bible are just... silly. Or, they could be if given a modern context. This is a place to just let us be silly about our book of faith (if you of non-Christian faiths have things that make you giggle in your holy books, feel free to post as well).
Ezekiel, for example, got a zombie army. Zombies. An army of them. So feel free to tell your friends that are preparing for the swarm of the undead that it happened 2k+ years ago.
Ezekiel 37:7-8 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to its bone. And I looked, and behold, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them; but there was no breath in them.
Everyone remembers the story of Lot and his family, yes? The four people that escaped the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, only to have Lot's poor wife end in a pillar of salt. That, my dear children, is because rubbernecking (the act of slowing/stopping to watch something terrible on the side of the road) is a sin. Next time there's a four-car pileup, drive on, else you too might be reduced to a kitchen condiment. wink
The Bible has 66 books. I'm sure there are other things we can poke good-humored fun at. Go forth and find them. smile

I thought this was cute as well. Sometimes these numbers things are so hokey they're worth sharing. xd
Quote: Here's one of those strange coincidences I hadn't heard before. It's about the Bible and supposedly shows that God is at the center of the Bible. The facts can easily be checked. Well maybe not easily but they can be confirmed if so inclined. To start off with: The shortest chapter of the Bible is Psalms 117 and the longest chapter is Psalms 119. Now by 'coincidence' Psalms 118 is the middle chapter of the Bible - between the shortest and the longest. That's all pretty straight forward. This means that there are 594 chapters (if you have time to count them) before Psalms 118 and, of course, as it's in the middle, there are 594 chapters after Psalms 118. Okay, if you add 594 and 594 hopefully you'll get a total of 1188. This is where it gets interesting because Psalms 118:8 just happens to be the middle verse of the Bible - another coincidence? And this is what the verse reads: "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." In other words God is at the center of the Bible.

Two-part post.
Firstly: "And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts; but my face shall not be seen." Exodus 33:20-23 God mooned Moses. One of The Prophets wasn't allowed to see God's face, but he was permitted a good view of the divine buttcheeks.
And secondly: I guess since this falls under the category of silly to me, what do you all think about the Bible Code? True? False? Interesting to read about but actually nonsense? We should be using this to determine the future?
