I used to love the comments Archie Bunker made about the Bible. I remember when he was talking about Adam and Eve and how it was all her fault that they ate the apple and then God got mad and told them to "Get their clothes on and get the hell out of there." And then there was Samson who "Found a jawbone in the grass and went and slew the Philippines."
What ones do you remember?

I remember when he said to Edith how all those peoples were out there having their sexual orgies, jumping on each others bones and fun, while I was at home with you.
"Well, I'll tell you one thing about President Nixon. He keeps Pat home. Which was where Roosevelt should have kept Eleanor. Instead he let her run around loose until one day she discovered the colored. We never knew they were there. She told them they were gettin' the short end of the stick and we been having trouble ever since."

"I am quite sure now that often, very often, in matters concerning religion and politics a man's reasoning powers are not above the monkey's."

I liked when Mike challenged Archie about how much he really knew about the Bible, and Archie said something like "I know all about the Bible, from Generous to Revolutions."
