7. There is some pretty weird shit in the bible.

A couple years ago, a couple guys on a local morning radio show were laughing at what believers ignore in the bible (sex and violence etc). Their sports guy was a serious Catholic. And like many believers, had no idea what was actually in the bible.

So I called in to and told them to look up Ezekiel 23:20:

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

The religious sports guy refused to believe it was in the bible because he didn't learn that in Sunday School!

About a year later he transferred to a different station.
