dreamer_easyOne of these JW mags quotes a guy who says that "knowledge of the Old Testament is fading fast among Christians and has virtually vanished in popular culture". So! Test yourself, Christians and others on my flist - without peeking at other comments, see if you can comment with five events from the OT. (If you actually do Bible study, you're disqualified! :-)

Date: 2007-09-09 11:04 am (UTC)1. Elijah(?)'s "my God's better than your god" contest. "Maybe he's off taking a leak?" =:o}
2. The fall of Jericho. With full brass accompaniment.
3. Job gets throughly s**t upon just to prove a point (which is tragic), then gets "comforted" by the local theologians (which is excrutiating). Then he gets some quality one-on-one time with God, which always makes everything worthwhile.
4. Ummm... [STARTING TO SCRATCH HEAD NOW]... Ooh! The fall of Sodom. Which had nothing to do with anyone just being gay, BTW. God heard they had Weapons of Moral Depravity and decided to check it out, and sure enough they tried to gang-rape the UN inspectors.
5. Noah's floating menagerie. Anglican version: "And it rained for four-tea days, and four coffee mornings..."
Bonus: Wasn't Esther entered into the local equivalent of "Miss World"...? Or was she the organiser? I tried to write a song about that once.
