^ @enoch that's a great clip--thanks.

Wait until you get to the tower of bable story (Genesis 11:1-9), funny stuff. Humanity, all speaking the same language decide to work together to build a tower to the heavens. God has none of this co-operation and harmony business, kicks everyone to various parts of the earth and makes them speak in tongues... which is how different languages were created.

Percey Shelley has a funny passage on God's curse against the snake in his essay "On the Devil, and Devils":

The Jewish account is that the Serpent, that is the animal, persuaded the original pair of human beings to eat of a fruit from which God had commanded them to abstain, and that in consequence God expelled them from the pleasant garden where he had before permitted them to reside. God on this occasion, it is said, assigned a punishment to the Serpent that its motion should be as it now is along the ground upon its belly. We are given to suppose that, before this misconduct, it hopped along upon its tail, a mode of progression which, if I was a serpent, I should think the severer punishment of the two.

Ezekiel 23:20 New International Version (NIV) "There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."

I especially like the part where an omnipotent, all-powerful, all-knowing god does not know what is going on.
