Funny bible verses?

I've been watching QI and found a funny bible verse about gays not being able to wink, I was attacked by Christians following slight ammusement at this. I also found this website http://www.churchhopping.com/ten-verses-never-preached-on/ Can anyone find anything funnier than the concept of gays being unable to wink or a curse of two female bears.

The bible is hilarious in parts, I'm not mocking religion but I can't see how anyone can be a fundamental Christian. According to the bible Enoch is still alive!

Why do religions condem things unless there is an emergency?

On Sabbath, jewish people are not allowed to do a lot of things. Pretty much anything at all, unless it is an emergency. But if it is ok for those things to be done during an emergency, then why do they need to be banned in the first place? If those acts are commited at all, then they are considered a sin, wether or not its an emergency. Shouldn't they just be banned completely or not banned at all?

For all beliefs (or nonbeliefs) EXCEPT Cristians. What is your opinion about this (concerning my miscarriage)?

2 1/2 months ago I had a miscarriage. All I kept hearing is "it's wtih god". Why would anybody be cold blooded enough to say my baby is with their "god"? The god in the bible is a murderer, liar, and a monster who drowned innocent babies, according to their own book! He even ordered little kids murdered. What makes them think it would comfort me to think my tiny, helpless baby is with that sick, twisted, sadistic monster? Do they really think I should feel any better thinking that their sky daddy killed my baby? How ignorant are they?

Christians, could you please help me find this version of the bible?

Hello everyone. I guess, even if you are not a Christian who is in alcohol of drug recovery, you may still know which Bible I am referring to. I got a very special bible when I was in a half way house, but I think I may have accidentally left it at my parent's house when I moved, and now I want to find a copy of it again, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere. This bible had personal stories of other recovering individuals throughout the books of the bible and it is also commonly used in bible study at the prisons and given to prisoners that request a bible. It is multi- colored swirls on the outside and just says Holy Bible on the cover. Please, if you know the publisher, please give me that information. Thank you so much!

How many people here think that Muslims are bad people?

I know for a fact they are not and that Al Queda and the Taliban are hated by all good Muslims, and that I have many friends who have been nothing but kind to anyone and give generous amounts of money to charity. How many people think that Muslims are another word for terrorists? And why do you think you can pass judgment on an entire culture based on a small widly hated group?

Is there a separation between the physical and spiritual planes of existence?

If life in the human form is the physical manifistation of energy is the afterlife then the spiritual manifistation of that energy?
Basic physics teaches energy can not be created or destroyed it just is. This is where the question arises.
