My favorite bible story is where Jesus installs an orange faced fascist to be POTUS to test our morals.
Or maybe to separate the good people from the bad.

magazine to Sister Perpetual Agony to show her the photo of the 250 million year old dinosaur fossil. I told her that the earth can't be 6,000 years old, because dinosaurs were here over 250M years ago.

She said god was just "testing my faith", and that the fake fossil was put there by God the father, before Jesus arrived on the scene 4,000 years later. She suggested I was bordering on blasphemy. I think I ended up clapping erasers that week for testing her patience by being a burgeoning heathen.

with her long fingernails digging into our necks and a paddle always handy if we didn't score 100% on something.
I really hated going to Catholic grade school run by nuns and was scared of everyone of them, until I got Sister
Perpetual Super Saint in the 5th grade and learned they weren't all bad.

Even if you didn't get the paddle, you could be traumatized by other forms of corporal punishment that was used. Believe it or not, there was a nun who kept a large jar of "worm medicine" on the bookcase in the classroom. One day an unfortunate student received the "treatment" and she upchucked it all over the floor. Swimming amongst the "worms" was my brand new faux alligator skin pencil case.
