I personally like Noah (besides Jesus ) I mean he got to see all of the really neat creatures that are extinct now like dinosaurs . Well let me know thanks this is my first thread so tell me how I did.

Totally Moses cause he wandered through the wilderness and recived the Ten Commandments and he got to talk to God . Moses totally wins my vote

i'd have to say Jesus because he is Salvation

Here's a better question:

Which is the right forum for these sorts of threads?

NationStates
International Incidents
Moderation
GENERAL

Pontius Pilate is probably the most interesting.

Mammon.

Evidently the flood was supeflouos. Actually, good lord, upon the premise of the above, just how large was Noah's wooden boat if it encorporated two of every dinosaur? A flotilla? An armada maybe?

Personally, this is awful. you may as well enquire as to our favourite Harry Potter character for all the truth in either.

I don't know about the best, but Adam was the worst, because he wasn't like me. (see my signature to understand ;) )

Stephan or the centurion, probably.

primary or secondary?

I thought Gideon was pretty funny, but then again Abraham has a lot of good lessons to learn.........I am going to have to go with Jael though, she is a lot like me I think ;)

Lot.

Screwing his daughters like that? Gotta get him some time in heaven. A true example of Christian morality.

Duh, Satan?

Onan

Easy choice: http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/jesus.gif

ya know darlin', as much as i appreciate the story of noah and the image of the religious nutcase building a great big boat on dry land, EVERYONE before the great flood would have seen all the dinosaurs and other extinct animals.

think about it.

if we're talking way old testament, im gonna go with cain. who else could get away with murder and have the protection of god afterwards?

Morgoth. The way he defied Eru the one with his music. Also, that guy who made the dwarves because he could not wait for Eru to make the elves and humans. Lastly, Olorin because he became Gandalf.

Daniel, the astrologer, is my favourite Bible character.

not astrology, dream interpretation, there is a huge difference

Herod or the serpent. <giggle>

Whos the whore? Yeah.. she's my fav..

That'll be Mary. Fucks a guy behind Joseph's back, gets pregnant, and then claims she never did it to avoid getting stoned by the village. Little slut.

The Pharaoh. I still see him as Grand Moff Tarkin with a headpiece.

Korach, assuming that the Biblical story in which he is portrayed is not some strange amalgation of two separate stories, which it probably is. He and those aligned with him raise an interesting point that is never fully addressed.

My favorite character from the Bible was the snake-guy from Genesis. He went around handing out free fruit and knowledge. He also came from some strange dimension and traveled to our plane of existence. He was the original snake on our plane.

Satan. He raised Adam and Eve above the simple animals by giving them the knowledge of their mortality. He tricked god into showing what an asshole he could be in the story of Job. He's a rebel and a natural leader who seems to value humans as equals rather than as servants.

Judas. Poor guy.

not astrology, dream interpretation, there is a huge difference
Before he developed his ability to interpret dream, though, he trained as an astrologer in the court of Nebuchadnezzar.

horus, i mean tammuz, i mean krishna, i mean mithras. damn, what did they call him in that book again? oh yeah, jesus. same crap.

Caesar.

Thomas the Doubter, the only disciple with any sense at all.

oh yeah, huh. I forgot, it's been a while since I studied Daniel. LOL

I can't believe Moses is tied with Jesus. Moses is so much better.

Moses killed an Egyptian, got in Pharoah's face, brought in a bunch of plagues, parted the red sea, got the Torah, and lead a huge band of Jews through the desert for 40 years. I could go on and on, Moses is the best.

Rofl, there's snakes on this plane! You're the man now dog!

Character development in the Bible is so lousy there's no way for me to tell. So I'm gonna have to go with Bishop Ussher. He's the guy that convinced the world that the universe is only around 6,000 years old ... and many people still believe that drivel today.

Awesome.

And he was Irish, which makes him cooler than your average religious wingnut.

Although he was also taught to read by blind people, so that might explain his 6,000 year theory.

Accident or design that the only options in the poll about a phallocentric religion... are all male?

Esau and Job. Because they represent the 90% of people in the world who get screwed over by the remaining 10% that get away and prosper from it.

The Whale. I especially liked his cameo in Pinocchio. He's a highly emotional and intense character actor.

Biff, Jesus' childhood friend.

Or Baal. Baal's cool.

Or Baal. Baal's cool.

Just how much of the galaxy does he control right now?

Noah got to see dinosaurs? OK... I REALLY want a referral to the passage that says "And lo, Noah did turneth the brontosaurus and the tyranasaurus away from the ark, for God did find them evil in his sight."

But my answer to the thread is Eve. Simple gal, thought to herself, "there has got to be more to life than THIS...", went out and when the snake offered it to her, had the guts and brains to grab it, then SHARED it with Adam. If not for her, none of us would ever have happened (well, if you believe the myth, that is)... it would still be just her and Adam tooling around the garden, dumb as stumps.

Just how much of the galaxy does he control right now?Not nearly quite enough. :D

Solomon.

Who else could get a book in the Bible that talk about blowjobs?

Yoda or Han Solo.


"Not judge, judged lest ye be"


"Look, tell Herod I've got his money."

Is Satan in the bible? I would like to vote for him/her. ;)

Put another mark up for Thomas, for if I could see myself doing the same...

Although Jesus is intriguing, I would love to know what went down in those years where he was dealing with who he was... those "lost" years...

Hustling pool in a dive bar and selling a little blow on the side to make ends meet.

Onan, the poor guy that got killed for pulling out :(

Please tell me I have not killed me rep with this thread it was a simple Q that's all

the dude with the polychromic kaftan

Onan, the poor guy that got killed for pulling out :(

Yeah, 2 votes for Onan now.

I'm torn between Job and Jonah.

Job reminds me of my situation at work. My boss thinks I work so well, that he constantly offers my help to more and more people, so that I can barely get in time to type this.

Jonah, cause he was just so angry man.:headbang:

What about Sampson? He killed all those people with his ass! Oops, that was the jawbone of an ass.

Actually, Noah told God that he didn't have time to build a boat big enough for two of every dinosaur. So God sent this big asteriod toward Earth. :)

Jesus, because he's such a good bloke. I bet if you met him down the pub, he'd shout you a beer, because that's the sort bloke he is.

That'd make him David Boon's best mate then.

God.

He's the only one who got to *smite* people.

Gotta say Jesus first... but I mean that's not really a fair question. Other than Jesus though, I gotta go with...

Eli. Doesn't say much abotu him, but dude, he NEVER DIED. It just says God took him and he was with God before the flood. Yeah, Noah did the whole live and propagate and such, but Eli was just so darn cool God kept him. Plus, he lived to be ridiculously old.

yuppers

in a mere 7 posts you have already blown any cred this identity might have developed.

you may as well just let this one die and start over with a new one. hope this wasnt your favorite country name ever.

other than Jesus..

MIGUEL !!!

:cool:

Jerimiah and Paul.

Leastways I like their writing.

My two favorite people in the Bible are Ehud (from Judges 2), and Amos (see book of Amos, in the minor prophets- you know, one of the last books in the Old Testament that no one ever reads).

Lucifer

Jezebel - the poor, much-maligned woman was just trying to keep her religion from being destroyed.
Delilah - Ditto.

I am so dumbfounded by this, I have to let a quote from a Lindsay Lohan movie and a picture from the FSM site be my only response.

"...And on the eighth day, god created the Remmington Bolt-action rifle, so man could fight the dinosaurs. And the Homo-sexuals. A-men."

I forget his name, but he was the one in Genesis who slaughtered an entire village because one resident raped his daughter.

Yeah, that guy rocks.

/bitter

I like the unicorn that rides on the ark. Oh and the talking donkey. I also like Cain's wife, she is so cool because she has no parents. Saul is cool because he had a thing for Philistine foreskins.

No such individual.

Simeon and Levi, two sons of Jacob, slaughtered the entire town of Schem because the ruler of the town raped their sister. Jacob criticized them for it.

Judas. Poor guy.

i have to agree with you here, judas got the blunt end of a deal. why dont more people name their kids after him?

Melchisedec rocks, also.

Mentioned eleven times in the scripture, had neither father, mother, nor other ancestors, was not born and did not die.... (Hebrews 7:1-3)

Eve, because she is freaking hot.

The behemoth. Has a cool name.

i'd have to say Jesus because he is Salvation

i second that
