Hehehe...had some pretty cool answers here so far. For me it'd be a toss-up between Leviticus - or the Big Boy's Bumper Book of What Not To Do as I always think of it - and Revelation. Revalation cracks me up every time, come to think of it - I just get this mental image of Jesus waking up one morning and going "Right, that's it, Armageddon time" - cos it says no-one knows when it's gonna happen but him - and then calling one of his Angel helpers and telling them to get it all sorted.
"What? Today?"
"Yep. I've had enough of this goodness and mercy lark - it's time to kick some butt".
"But...But, but...I mean...the Angel of the Waters is on a Caribbean cruise. The Leviathan is having therapy for his fear of dark places. War's forgotten where he's left his sword, and Pestilence has a note from his mother saying he's excused because he's not feeling well....yes I know not feeling well is what he's all about, and he says he's taken Sudafed, but it's not really working for him...."
"Get it done."
"But - I mean, it's not that simple, Lord. We've got to notify the Beast, give him time to make an Antichrist...and you know what happened the last time he tried that - I mean, impotence is a serious problem, but still..."
"Get it done. The Son of Man has spoken."
"Oh blimey. It's gonna be one of those days, I can feel it in my bones..."

It does not make me laugh but smile would be appropriate to describe by feelings when I start to read Revelation. When it speaks of a bird with several wings and eyes all over the body. And if that is not already enough, then it starts to talk. I love to read the Bible. No other book entertains and guides me like my Bible.

The whole what the Christians call the New Testament. It is not part of the Tanakh-the Holy Scriptures (or what Christians call the OT). It tells a story about a man who people say is G-d. This is so not true, as there is no G-d but G-d. Jesus was just a man. a good man, as the story goes-but, just a man.

There is a verse somewhere in Song of Songs that goes something like "I am a wall! My breasts are like towers!"
Actually, the whole book of Song of Songs is pretty interesting. My church youth group leader in high school once said that if I ever needed something romantic to write on a lovenote, I could just write a verse from Song of Songs.

It's a tossup between two stories. In Genesis, the sons of Jacob get even with Schechem for date-raping their sister, then proposing, by insisting on the whole town getting circumcised, then killing them all while they're convalescing (Hilarious irony!). And at the end of Judges, a priest overnighting in a hostile town gets revenge on the locals who raped and killed his concubine (whom he shoved out the door to protect himself) by chopping her into twelve pieces and mailing them to the twelve tribes with a note, "What are you going to do about this?" (Keep reading, it just gets more wacky.)
Oh, and Lot's daughters too. The nut doesn't land too far trom the tree.

The part where lot and his family were running away from their vilage that was being destroyed by God (lol he was PO'D) and God told them not to look back and his wife did and she turned into a pillar of Salt. ROFL that was always a good one. too bad people actualy think that is literal, or anyting in the bible of that matter.
Martin it actually never says that those who don't believe will toast in hell. It never says that.

I dont think that any of it is funny. when people use the writings in the bible as an excuse to wage war or supress free thought it becomes dangerous.

The part when the tower ao Babel is being built and God decides to change the languages that they speak. I love to see that God has a sense of humor
