Of those listed here, who's your favourite character(s) from the Old Testament of the Bible? :D

I see no list, so I'm gonna go with the Archangel Raphael. He kicks demon ass, cures Tobit's blindness, protects Tobiah from a curse, and gets him laid. Best archangel ever (next to St. Michael, of course).

Poll's up now. :p

EDIT: And please ignore the typo. "Johan" is supposed to be "Jonah."

where is moses?

What, no Jeremiah? :p

where is moses?

Only had room for 10. Eutrusca got the Moses slot. :p

where is moses?
Or for that matter, Abraham, Joseph, Jeremiah, Ruth, Sarah...

A poll's too small to hold all the Old Testament figures.

What, no Jeremiah? :p

Nah, no need for a bullfrog on the list. ;)

Totally samson. I loved hearing about him when I was wee, he was just like hercules, whom I also wanted to be like :cool:

ok

Now I know, who I vote ;)

Arrgh! I am not a child of the 60s! :headbang:
(Well, I guess technically I am, since I was born there. Then. Whatever. But most "children of the 60s" were actually born in the late 40s. Strange how that works. And I digress. Get back on topic, you fool!)

But I suppose the slot for "opinionated old bastard" is adequately represented by Eutrusca.

:p

Eutrusca totally got my vote.

LOL....Eut.

LOL....Eut.

And, not surprisingly, he leads in the voting. :D

Fool, saints arent angels!!!

You will now burn in hell.Goodbye.

My favorite isn't on there............

I liked Gideon because the whole time I am reading about him, I am waiting for God to get tired of him and strike him down

Judges 6:36 Gideon said to God, "If you will save Israel by my hand as you have promised- 37 look, I will place a wool fleece on the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said." 38 And that is what happened. Gideon rose early the next day; he squeezed the fleece and wrung out the dew—a bowlful of water.

39 Then Gideon said to God, "Do not be angry with me. Let me make just one more request. Allow me one more test with the fleece. This time make the fleece dry and the ground covered with dew." 40 That night God did so. Only the fleece was dry; all the ground was covered with dew.

I kept thinking "Dude, God told you to do something, quit screwing around with fleece and go do it!!!"

Why isn't God an option? I mean, he created the whole universe - not many fictional characters can claim that.

Looks like it's Eutrusca by a landslide! :D

The talking snake.

The talking snake.

You would like the snake... :p

lol w00t Eut!! gets my vote :)

a) he's way cooler than any of those other loosers
b) he's not a fictional character in a nonsense book of fiction and bollocks (mm facetious tonight... :D)

Deborah is pretty cool.
A woman leading the Israelites to victory over their enemies. Just goes to show not the entire bible is a testimony to misogynists..

Gideon was a very cool character. I liked how at the beginning of his story he was the least among his people, but at the end one of the foreign rulers he had captured described him as having "the bearing of a prince." (Judges 6:15 and 8:18)

Out of the people listed on the poll, I'm going to go with Job. He was awesome because he ended up rich at the end.

Don't forget Jael (my sister's middle name), the woman who nailed Sisera's head to the ground with a tent peg.

And Eutrusca continues to win with 50% of the vote thus far! :D

Jephthah. That dude was hard core.

Yeah, anyone who would trade his only daughter for a military victory is a bad ass.

How's this for obscure--Ehud the left-handed.

Eut. is not fictional?
:eek:
THE eut isn't ;)

I'm quite surprised the mods haven't shipped this off to the Spam forum like they did with my poll yesterday about favourite STDs (e.g., herpes, gonorrhea, Czardas, et al.). I guess, though, based on the thread title, this one looks more legitimate. :D

Who was he? It's been a while since I perused the bible.

I voted Eutrusca simply for the smiting. But had I not seen it, I think I rather would've gone for Job.

Smite away, gramps :D

Try perusing google once in a while ;)

Judges 3:16-21 Now Ehud had made a double-edged sword about a foot and a half long, which he strapped to his right thigh under his clothing. He presented the tribute to Eglon king of Moab, who was a very fat man… Ehud then approached him while he was sitting alone in the upper room of his summer palace and said, “I have a message from God for you.” As the king rose from his seat, Ehud reached with his left hand, drew the sword from his right thigh and plunged it into the king’s belly.Wearing the sword at the right side is significant, since it was usually on the left (because most people were right handed) So this means it was concealed.

Isaiah, but within the limits of the poll, Daniel.

"Gramps" is it? Grrrr!

Sorry dude. I figured you could just give me a short summary from memory.

Anyway, yeah,stabbed the moabite king and then him and his boys killed 10,000 moabites? The OT sure does have alot of mass slaughter in it.

Anyway, yeah,stabbed the moabite king and then him and his boys killed 10,000 moabites? The OT sure does have alot of mass slaughter in it.Yeah, the old testament God was a vengefull one. Didn't shy away from outright genocide either.
Saul got ousted as king for failing to follow through on such a massacre. Admittedly not finishing the job came back to bite them in the butt, but still..

i'd have voted for noah (because of the cool toyota commercial) but then i remebered my parents would have named me noah had i turned out to be a boy so...no!

"Gramps" is it? Grrrr!

SMITE!
SMITE!
rofl.....you know, I'd have a hell of a lot more respect for my elders if the ones like you weren't such a crack-up to mock and annoy.

But hey, I got a double-smite out of it. Sweet.
