That would be outstanding.

Mr. White = Jesus
Mr. Orange = Judas
Joe Cabot = God? (In his guise as the holy spirit)
Mr. Blonde = Possibly Satan

I'll have to think a while about the rest...

I totally agree. The Quran is the same way. Some Atheists always talk about how horrible the bible is, but mostly it's just boring. Mind numbingly boring.

As someone with a history background, I found the Bible to be quite interesting (that also means it won't have the most interesting language..I have fallen asleep reading it late at night)....well the Old Testament that is, which is why I only appreciated the New Testament for its moral values.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

I would have to say the book of Jude (King James Version) is my favorite read. It's pretty epic for being only one chapter. And since the King James Version was translated in 1611 (the era of Shakespeare) , Jude is also very poetic in the way it's written.

It all should be one chapter each..

The NT has moral values? Like what? Maybe it's the part about not helping widows younger than 60.

I also have a history background and found the Bible to be quite interesting though the language is difficult to read and sometimes boring. In fact, I credit a college course on the History of the Bible for opening my eyes and turning me into an atheist.
