Genesis 21 Sarah conceives, gives birth to Isaac, and has Abraham banish Ishmael and his favorite strange, Hagar.
Genesis 22 God sets up the most awkward fathers day ever by commanding Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, but spares the kid after his father scares the shit out of him.
Genesis 23 Sarah dies at 125, and Abraham buries her in a cave.
Genesis 24 Abraham get his servant to search for a wife for Isaac. He finds the virgin Rebekah (at a well as opposed to an elevator but it was pretty much the same conversation). Isaac wastes no time in taking her in his mothers tent, which comforts him over his mothers death.

[Neon Genesis]

So would this be called Wellgate?

Instead of Elavatorgate, this is Wellgate.

Ahh, no big deal. You she didn't raise a fuss, she went into sarahs tent to be taken.

I'll have to check this out.
For a historical view of the New Testament, Bart Ehrman's Teaching Company lectures are available online for free! He addresses the Apocryphal gospels, in which the Brat Jesus kills birds and plays other naughty tricks, the Resurrection story where the cross is the size of a skyscraper, and other oddities.

This Podcast is a terrific Sleep Aid!  No offense at all to Thomas, he is hilarious and entertaining; even still though.  I end up nodding off by the end of each Podcast and have to listen to at least 1/2 the next night. 

The Old Testament is that boring.

[Neon Genesis]

Will he do Thomas and the Twilight books next?

Isn't the Bible bad enough?

I've really focused on the evil and contradictions in the past, but in listening and summarizing the chapters I've really been struck with how stupid and ridiculous the thing is. Preachers have to be doing performance art. There is no way a sane reasonably intelligent person can read this and believe.

Have you read the Skeptics Annotated Bible?  The whole Bible Color Coded for easy reference to the vile, stupid and blatantly absurd.

If you think OT is boring, try the Koran. Sleep aid X 10.
