#1 on Wal-Mart's best-seller list: Audio Bible featuring Samuel L. Jackson as God


Audio Bible features Denzel W., Angela Bassett

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/books/11/17/talking.bible.ap/index.html

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (AP) -- It's an epic telling of the life of Jesus -- an ambitious production featuring an all-star cast. But it's not a movie or miniseries.

It's been at or near the No. 1 spot among the best-selling books listed on Wal-Mart's Web site since its early fall release. The retail chain Family Christian Stores say it's the fastest-selling audio Bible it has ever stocked.

The 21-hour production, which lists for $49.99, features the voice talents of more than 250 singers, clergy and actors, including Denzel Washington, Cuba Gooding Jr., Angela Bassett and Alfre Woodard. Blair Underwood portrays Jesus, and Samuel L. Jackson, who played a Scripture-spouting hit man in "Pulp Fiction," is the voice of God.

"It's really good and it's transcending every barrier. We're thrilled with the way that the product has turned out," said Paul Caminiti, vice president and publisher of Bibles for Zondervan, a Grand Rapids-based division of News Corp.-owned HarperCollins.

12. The Gospel According to St. Mark, Chapter 16
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

8. Does his Bible contain Ezekiel 25:17?
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. :

26. "Moses, fetch me that stone tablet." "Which one, oh lord?"
Edited on Mon Nov-20-06 08:05 PM by Leopolds Ghost
"The one that says BAD MOTHERFUCKER on it!"

----

GOD: "So, did you f*** her?"

ADAM: "What kind of question is that?"

GOD: "Come on, man. I know you weren't gettin' any. So I created her for you. Did you f*** her?"

ADAM: "Well... yes."

GOD: "Ha ha haaa! See, that's my Eve. She my little white surfer girl. She does love to **** anything that moves. Ain't any good at it, but boy does she love to ****! I knew you two would hit it off."

----

On edit: No, this is just so wrong.
