Well, as you well know, a lot can happen after three days. I can only describe it as a resurrection experience!

Which rather famously - and allegedly - took place over the course of about thirty-six hours, traditionally.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

My woman would be totally dissatisfied with your turnaround time. 3 days? I get resurrected after a beer, some caffeine, a liter of water, and a finger up the ass. This takes all of 30 seconds.

What makes you think that is the 'proper' way to read it? Not all of it is in chronological order.

Oh, right, because it's so unreasonable to think the proper way to read a book is in chronological order. Silly Rob.

It must not be, if it leads people away from christianity more often than it leads people to christianity.

Chadders! Hola. Makes sense to me that the bible could be read in any order. Means about the same to me either way. I'm sure you're much better at it than me though.

Yes, I know. I was drawing an allusion.

I'm currently reading a book by M.K. Wren called "A Gift on the Shore." It is in no way shape or form a story told in chronological order, but should still be read from front to back. Since the buy-bull was written by men, why should we expect it to be any different?
