  1. Seeing Trump identified as The Golden Calf..

    Any Old Testament readers here want to give a gloss of what happened to the worshippers of the golden calf?

    It is a heavy story, the bits I think I remember were violent.

  5. @rightardia The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Bible have fascinating parallels, especially the flood story. In Gilgamesh (written around 2100 BCE), Utnapishtim is warned by the gods to build a boat and save animals from a massive flood, just like Noah in the Bible’s Genesis (written around 500–600 BCE). Both stories feature a divine warning, an ark, and a great flood. But while the Bible presents a monotheistic view, Gilgamesh involves multiple gods.

    🤣 There's a lot to upack there...

    Lot boinked his daughters, too.

    Well, technically, his daughters got him drunk, and boinked him.

    I'm not sure if this was before or after he gave them (his daughters) to the townspeople so they (the townspeople) wouldn't rape the holy men who were visiting Lot.

    But, knowing how alcohol effects my own penis, I'm reasonably certain he woulda been cognizant of daughter dearest applying ministrations.

  7. Na stands for #Natrium; #NaCl is called Natrium Chloride here.

    In the USA NaCl is called Sodium Chloride. I always wondered why.

    I suspect that Lot's wife is to blame for this. She looked behind her at Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt, hence Sodium Chloride.

    Thanks a Lot's wife, for creating this confusion!

  8. When I was a Jehovah’s Witness kid, I learned that God flooded the entire world in order to punish the Nephilim for being bullies and stealing everyone’s food. I wondered why God punished the people whose food was stolen, too. I wasn’t allowed to ask such questions then. #exJW #Nephilim #BibleStories

    How has your vision of your MC changed since you wrote the first page?

    When I initially planned to write this book, it bore no similarity whatsoever to what it has since become. That includes the MC. Originally, my protagonists were Nebuchadnezzar and a woman named Sophie. Neither appear in my manuscript. Maybe they’ll show up in other books. #mythology #BibleStories #AmWriting #WritingProcess

  10. I’ve been listening to an audiobook of The Book of Enoch. I grew up in an apocalyptic cult, and I am so miffed that this book was removed from the Bible. This is some amazing shit! I’d have loved reading this as a kid. It sure beats the begat section. I wonder why it became apocryphal? The further adventures of Noah and all those wacky angel shenanigans a#make for wild tales. #folklore #mythology #apocrypha #angels #BookOfEnoch #Bible #BibleStories
