LOL That's probably my favorite Bible story. Balaam beats his donkey so God gives the donkey the ability to tell him off. Then the Angel of the Lord says he would have killed Balaam but he would have spared his innocent donkey.

If the whole Bible was like that then I would probably read it more often. Smile

And as opposed to the rest, some real morality is to be found in that passage.

God offers early christians a bunch of showy miracles as proof, but we must now rely on "faith" and it's a sin to doubt.

No, it's a sin if you don't commit a sin

"Blessed are those that don't see, yet still believe." Ok, but why should that be necessary? Why is faith without evidence so important? Because in the end, that's all they have.

The stupidest bit about the talking donkey is that the guy isn't even surprised, he talks back as if it happens all the time.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that absent faith, it'd be pretty tough to believe that silly shit.

That's just me though.
