"For whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me."

Beautiful isn't it? The vow perfectly captures the essence of the love that should exist between spouses and is often used at Christian wedding ceremonies.

And it was said by one woman (Ruth) to another woman (Naomi) in Ruth 1:16

Ironic yes?

I don't know about the fate of Mr. Bobbitt but Mrs. Bobbitt would be bobbing stones.

I wonder if having crushed nuts or a damaged penis was normal back them. What WERE they doing?!

I see the Easter proselytizers have made an appearance. *yawn*

Here's my favorite verse:

Ezekiel 23:20:

20. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Lot's of religious rituals required all sorts of things:

For example, the priests of Cybele, the mother goddess of the earth, castrated themselves with ritual pincers and placed their testicles in a box. They were called Galli.

Oh... and didn't the Hebrew god tell Abraham to cut off the end of his penis?

30: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

No sun, moon or stars...How did they see?
How does a blind man see?

Leviticus 1-3

3" 'If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he is to offer a male without defect. He must present it at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting so that it will be acceptable to the LORD. 4 He is to lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him. 5 He is to slaughter the young bull before the LORD, and then Aaron's sons the priests shall bring the blood and sprinkle it against the altar on all sides at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. 6 He is to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces. 7 The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire. 8 Then Aaron's sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood that is on the altar. 9 He is to wash the inner parts and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD. 10



That kinda makes me hungry for a tri-tip!

What did the Lord do with his share of the booty? Specifically, what did he do with the 32 virgins?

Quote:
Numbers 31
Division of the Booty
Moses and Eleazar the priest did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Now the booty that remained from the spoil which the men of war had plundered was 675,000 sheep, and 72,000 cattle, and 61,000 donkeys, and of human beings, of the women who had not known man intimately, all the persons were 32,000.

The half, the portion of those who went out to war, was as follows: the number of sheep was 337,500, and the LORD’S levy of the sheep was 675;
and the cattle were 36,000, from which the LORD’S levy was 72; and the donkeys were 30,500, from which the LORD’S levy was 61; and the human beings were 16,000, from whom the LORD’S levy was 32 persons.

Moses gave the levy which was the LORD’S offering to Eleazar the priest, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Burnt offerings? My ex was apparently more religious than I thought she was.
