You've got to admit....this is hilarious. Worthy of a new edition of the biblical texts, for the drawers of every hotel room for late night reading. Lots of new shelf space in Florida libraries too.

Bystander Bibles in every Holiday Inn and Motel 6, from Tallahassee to Fort Lauderdale. A wonderful idea!

Outstanding. I want bible studies based on the AB's reading. Brilliant.

I hadn't studied Judges/Shoftim in forever and I definitely was not disappointed. So much of this is just directly in the text, or not far from it.

Ah, to be like Samson and have our hair as a source of power. Perhaps then maybe Carrot Top's act would be funny.

Sidenote: Why has nobody ever noticed the irony of the bible's use of the jawbone of an ass to represent the word of God?

This is absolutely brilliant. I second the motion of a book as this is first rate.

Join us in two weeks for the thrilling conclusion to the Book of Judges. I am sad to say that there will be both slicing and dicing.

It must mean something that the painting of Delilah bears an uncanny resemblence to Megan Markle.
