Mark Riddle has some "Biblical scenes you will never see on a Precious Moments figurine" that are worth the read. Some of them:
4. David Killing 200 philistines and cutting off their foreskins.
5. Sodom and Gomorrah
6. Elisha calling 2 grizzly's out of the woods to maul 42 adolescents.
I was thinking of coming up with a line of alternative, subculture figurines called
"Precious Movements" but I never got around to it. The Christian goths would have liked it.
However, let me add my little piece and see if it is good enough to make it onto his blog site (would it be great if it acheived Riddle Stardom?)
THE PRAYER OF JAEL
(you remember - the tent, the tent-peg, the forehead . . . ) "Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and SMOTE the nail into his temples . . ." Judges 4:21, KJV
And what was the Prayer of Jael? Probably something like this . . .
"Oh God, may this ******* die quickly, and may he stop bleeding all over my ***** tent.!"
If people like the Prayer of Jael, then I might consider setting up a network of Bible studies to reflect on it. It might be popular with the ladies, especially those that enjoyed the movie "Chicago".
Do you think the Precious Moments company would buy the rights from me to make a Jael figurine?
BTW - The rights to "The Prayer of Jael" belong to the author and anyone trying to make a buck of it from gullible Christians who have nothing to do but spend money on religious junk and sentimental thoughts should think twice. The author knows where you live.
