Every religion has its wild stories, but the ones we grew up with tend to slip past our skepticism unnoticed. If you were raised Christian, the talking monkey armies in Hinduism sound ridiculous, but the talking donkeys in the Bible somehow don't. Mohammad's winged horse is a fairy tale, but Elijah's flaming chariot to heaven is gospel truth. After more than twenty years in the church, I know exactly how this works: repetition, authority, and childhood indoctrination turn absurdity into banality. Let's re-examine some of the Bible's most absurd stories, and hold them to the same scrutiny we'd apply to anyone else's holy book.
Expect zombie saints wandering Jerusalem, a man surviving three days inside a giant fish, God losing a wrestling match to a shepherd, bears mauling 42 kids over a bald joke, a 600-year-old shipwright packing every species on Earth onto a wooden boat, and a donkey delivering theological complaints in fluent Aramaic. Plus the small matter of Jesus promising his own return before his generation died out (and the two thousand years of creative reinterpretation that followed).
