2. That is very odd, but I don't know that it is one of the oddest stories of the Bible

There are some incredibly messed up stories in the Bible so it has some very tough competition when it comes to the oddest story of the Bible. The Old Testament is so insane that many Christians will get offended if you even quote from the inconvenient parts of it, they say it is no longer relevant but they still continue to cite the Ten Commandments and the creation story which are also Old Testament.

I am going to go see the Noah movie today though, it was made by an atheist who happens to be one of the best directors of our time so this looks like one of the few Biblical movies worth seeing. The story may be crazy, but crazy works well for Darren Aronofsky films.
