Mine was Daniel In the Lion's Den

If you did not have a religious upbringing, substitute a folk tale you liked or something, I dunno.

the part in Kings apocrypha where some guy can only have one of three superpowers, because God has to have more than humans to be all powerful

Obā-san · 2015-10-15 23:42:51

i liked the garden of eden because it had a snake and i liked snakes

Bee · 2015-10-16 01:34:55

Jesus telling a storm to STFU.

Corvina · 2015-10-16 01:45:53

I enjoyed Akbar and Birbal tales, like the one about the cold dinner.

Imipolex G · 2015-10-16 02:13:17

The Book of Revelation, pretty much all of it

Apocalypse Cow said:

See, I was going to make that comment, before I realised it was the go-to facetious answer.

Also, I didn't read the Bible as a kid

Nobody reads the bible as a kid you just hear stories

Obā-san · 2015-10-16 03:10:34

i heard a bunch of stories when i went to that christian summer camp but they all rubbed me the wrong way

I was not being facetious at all.

Obā-san · 2015-10-16 03:17:22

book of revelations has jesus with a sword coming out of his mouth it is the only correct answer

Obā-san · 2015-10-16 03:17:32

also sinners going to hell

Imipolex G · 2015-10-16 03:20:51

also the number of the beast, the whore of babylon, and etc.

Ezekiel and the Song of Solomon are both pretty great.

In terms of childhood stories, I have conflicted feelings about the Passover story.

Alduin · 2015-10-16 10:35:06

Mine was the Book of Tobit, because it had demons in it.

Tachyon · 2015-10-16 10:45:57

Noah, because the picture books had lots of animals in them

Hexartes · 2015-10-16 10:56:58

David and Goliath, because I liked stories about fighting

Aliroz · 2015-10-16 19:25:04

I loved Daniel in the lions den as a second favorite, but my favorite old testament story has to be Noah's ark.

I did.

Probably more than I do now, actually.

Imipolex G · 2016-01-01 04:10:18

this is funny to me because the line we always heard (and sometimes still hear) is that Protestants never read the bible.

Funny. We say that about Catholics and other Protestants

Vriska · 2016-01-01 04:45:32

Probably the birth of Jesus, 'cause Christmas is the only time I really remember paying much attention in church as a kid. That or maybe Noah's Ark.

Obā-san · 2016-01-01 04:45:41

kinda... embarrassing.

At least Chuchu is a living being, what's the fuck of point of crucifying a bunch of robots?

Not robots with any sort of sentience or even capable of independent operation, just mobile suits.

The point is symbolism.
