Forvass, parts of the Bible that are especially amusing or entertaining.
1. Because I was a morbid child, I found the book of Judges, which is full of death and gore, entertaining at an early age. My favorite story in Judges is Jael slaying Sisera.
2. Genesis is also enormously soap-operaly entertaining, with gobs of sex and incest (and less gore than Judges). One of my favorite stories from Genesis is Tamar and Judah.
3. And out came this calf! is the greatest excuse in the history of excuses.
4. My favorite person in scripture is probably Paul. I love him in a srs bsns conversation partner kind of way, but I also love how awesomepants cranky he can be. One of my favorite Paul moments: Paul's First Parochial Report.
5. Indeed these are not drunk as you suppose, for it is only 9 o'clock in the morning! Disciples gonna disciple. And speaking of, We saw someone casting out demons in your name, so we stopped them. DISCIPLES! And thus was "facepalm" invented.
6. Ezekiel eats a scroll.

2. "And he did not lie with her again." Somehow I missed that on both my Bible read-throughs. And suddenly Judah is a hundred times more of an asshole.
3. I really badly want to see the Muppets do Exodus. I know why they can't and won't, and I approve of the Muppets staying basically secular (give or take a Christmas Carol movie) but I want to see it!
4. I don't have nearly as much affection for Paul as you do, but that passage is very lolzy.
5. "And thus was "facepalm" invented."
6. I would like to believe it was something like this:
