Pamela has indicated a little familiarity with one of the books, and Dave has shown his ability to be pedantic.<BR/>I have read the tome in question. It does not have many laughs, and the authors are some of the most miserable buggers ever to have put pen to paper/chalk to slate/scratchings on cave walls/snot on papyrus (I'll leave it to Dave to describe the actual materials used). <BR/>Like most scriptures it describes a deity who most of the time is a grumpy old git, and, surprisingly, I don't have much sympathy for him. If you want to read a more uplifting scripture try the Ramacharitamanasa, if you want to find God on a really bad day try the Koran. None of the scriptures are very big on humour, which is odd, considering that they are describing this world and the omnipotent deity who created it. <BR/>I hope that this helps, and look forward to the bile being poured upon me as a result of writing this, not to mention the fatwah.Vicus Scurrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13731007799031343701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10272587.post-83183305106959350642008-06-15T11:28:00.000+01:002008-06-15T11:28:00.000+01:00I came here to comment and have ended up learning ...I came here to comment and have ended up learning about things in the bible, a book that I have never read.

You won't trap me like that - I bet you thought that I would say that my next trip to the airport would be to pick up War, Death and Famine, didn't you? No, I am on my best behaviour. For the record, on the occasion that my mother-in-law, seeing me working in the garden asked "where is the broom?", the rumour that I replied, "Why, do you want to fly home?" is purely apocryphal. (Giving Dave another chance to tell you about the books of the Bible).<BR/>Dave. "Falls to my lot". Implies you are a relation of OT hero.
