Evil Bible Quote of the Day for Dec. 15 (The Talking *****) |
Evil Bible Quote of the Day for Dec. 15, 2003 from www.EvilBible.com:
The Talking ***** (Numbers 22:20-35 NAB)
That night God came to Balaam and said to him, "If these men have come
to summon you, you may go with them; yet only on the condition that you do
exactly as I tell you." So the next morning when Balaam arose, he saddled
his *****, and went off with the princes of Moab. But now the anger of God
flared up at him for going, and the angel of the LORD stationed himself on
the road to hinder him as he was riding along on his *****, accompanied by two
of his servants. When the ***** saw the angel of the LORD standing on the
road with sword drawn, she turned off the road and went into the field, and
Balaam had to beat her to bring her back on the road. Then the angel of the
LORD took his stand in a narrow lane between vineyards with a stone wall on
each side. When the ***** saw the angel of the LORD there, she shrank against
the wall; and since she squeezed Balaam's leg against it, he beat her again.
The angel of the LORD then went ahead, and stopped next in a passage so
narrow that there was no room to move either to the right or to the left.
When the ***** saw the angel of the LORD there, she cowered under Balaam. So,
in anger, he again beat the ***** with his stick.
But now the LORD opened the mouth of the *****, and she asked Balaam,
"What have I done to you that you should beat me these three times?" "You
have acted so willfully against me," said Balaam to the *****, "that if I but
had a sword at hand, I would kill you here and now." But the ***** said to
Balaam, "Am I not your own beast, and have you not always ridden upon me
until now? Have I been in the habit of treating you this way before?"
"No," replied Balaam.
Then the LORD removed the veil from Balaam's eyes, so that he too saw
the angel of the LORD standing on the road with sword drawn; and he fell on
his knees and bowed to the ground. But the angel of the LORD said to him,
"Why have you beaten your ***** these three times? It is I who have come
armed to hinder you because this rash journey of yours is directly opposed
to me. When the ***** saw me, she turned away from me these three times. If
she had not turned away from me, I would have killed you; her I would have
spared." Then Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, "I have sinned. Yet I
did not know that you stood against me to oppose my journey. Since it has
displeased you, I will go back home." But the angel of the LORD said to
Balaam, "Go with the men; but you may say only what I tell you." So Balaam
went on with the princes of Balak.
What kind of person would get their moral guidance from an ancient book of
myths and magic that says it is OK to murder, rape, pillage, and plunder?

A very flexible individual. He tied his ***** to a tree and walked 20 miles.

Evil Bible Quote of the Day for Dec. 15, 2003 from www.EvilBible.com:
The Talking ***** (Numbers 22:20-35 NAB)
I figure the donkey from the movie Shrek came from this "fairy tale". That
is, all of the other creatuers were some fairy tale or another (except I
don't remember any specific fairy tales involving an ogre) and in order for
the donkey to fit in, he must be from a fairy tale as well. Thus, Shrek
made a very subtle attack on the Bible.
Would anyone like to comment on the theory?

I thought the same thing too. I'll have to watch the movie again more
closely and look for Biblical names and stories.

Well I never really saw any serious connection to the Bible other than the
fact that the Bible is the most common story involving a talking donkey. I
thought the connection was vague, thought perhaps just as vague as the other
fairy tale creatures that made cameo appearances. That is, they were
supposed to be recognized by what they were, not necessarily by the context
they were in, and likewise for the donkey.
