Hey, it wasn't a snake at first, it was a serpent and God took it's legs off and made it a snake. I wonder which one it became then?

it's been a long time since i read the bible, but yes the parting of the red sea, that was a good story and someone even had the brilliant idea of turning it into a childs movie

I find the Bible a lot less believable now I'm out. Some of the stories that I once accepted as truth now seem somewhat unlikely to say the least.

No one's mentioned Balaam and the talking donkey yet, I don't think. (It was "Balaam", wasn't it?)
It isn't the talking donkey part -- I think we've all run into our fair share of talking donkeys. The problem is that when Balaam's donkey starts talking to him, he proceeds to carry on a conversation with it! It never enters his mind to say, "Hey! You're a talking donkey!" or "Augh! Help me! My donkey is demonized!" Just chats away...

You went and made me look it up! (Numbers 22:22-30)
I forgot about the beating part. Reading their conversation makes it even funnier, thanks!

Come to think of it, if you're in the mood to read some of the more ridiculous and humorous accounts in the Bible, you gotta check out RunningMan's "Atheist's Book of Bible Stories". Check out his topics, he generously posted each chapter in its own thread. (Scroll down, they start about the middle of the embedded page. Sweet stuff!
