The bible - yeh?

[peaccenicked]

The bible has to be the most over-rated classic. Some people even worship the main characters.



oops pressed "new topic by mistake"
should be under overrated classic.

Shall we trash the bible?? Where should we start? I know it's suppose to be read metaphorically but jeez, (or rather Jesus) that's some far-out story-telling. I didn't know they were into peyote that long ago. Alot of it is the same story recycled over and over again with different leads and bit players. The common-born people, Moses, Joseph, the one with the coat, etc. are always in the most powerful places, hanging out with pharoahs and becoming their political consultants. Fisherman who can't catch a fish if their life depended on it. and talking Donkeys and other animals.... I'm surprised the flying monkey from the wizard of oz is not in there. High drama though and good imagination. Even a little political subversion every once in a while. A really over-rated book indeed!!!

It's mostly Crap to me. How the hell was Noah supposed to cram TWO of every species onto a boat. You know, there are over 7,000 species of insects alone! Some of the Bible may have good intentions and morals, but It's mainly misinterprited. People use religion as an excuse for too many things. (I think Jesus is the only 'charachter' in the Bible I respect..)

The original lyrics
It aint´t necessarily so,
It ain´t necessarily so --
De t'ings day yo´li´ble
To read in de Bible --
It ain't necessarily so.

Li'l David was small, but -- oh my!
Li'l David was small, but -- oh my!
He fought Big Goliath
Who lay down and dieth --
Li'l David was small, but -- oh my!

Wadoo! Zim bam boddle-oo, zim bam boddle-oo!
Hoodle ah da wah da! Hoodle ah da wah da!
Scatty wah! Yeah!

Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale,
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale --
Fo´he made his home in
Dat fish's abdomen --
Oh Jonah, he lived in de whale.

Li'l Moses was found in a stream,
Li'l Moses was found in a stream --
He floated on water
Till Ole Pharaoh's daughter
She fished him, she says, from dat stream.
Wadoo! Zim &c.
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.
Dey tell all tyou chillun
De debble's a villun
But 'tain't necessarily so.

To get into hebben
Don't snap fo' a seben
Live clean! Don't have no fault!
Oh, I takes dat gospel
Whenever it's poss'ple
But wid a grain of salt!

Methus'lah live nine hundred years,
Methus'lah live nine hundred years
But who calls dat livin'
When no gal'll give in
To no man what's nine hundred years?

I'm preachin' dis sermon to show
It ain't nessa, ain't nessa,
Ain't nessa, ain't nessa,
Ain't necessarily so!

(Encore Limerick)
'Way back in 5,000 B.C.
Ole Adam an' Eve had to flee.
Sure, dey did dat deed in
De Garden of Eden
But why chasterize you an´me?

The lyrics that Sting sings
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.
The things that you're liable to read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.

David was small but oh my.
David was small but oh my.
He fought big Goliath who lay down and dieth.
David was small but oh my.
David was small but oh my.

Jonah he lived in a whale.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
He made his home in a fishes abdomen.
Jonah he lived in a whale.
Jonah he lived in a whale.

Moses was found on a stream.
Moses was found on a stream.
Floated on water old Pharaoh's daughter
Fished him she says from that stream.

It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.

Things that you're liable to read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so,
It ain't necessarily so.
