A Funny Look at the Bible

If you're looking for an informative, entertaining, irreverent, and even hilarious look at the the Bible, I highly recommend Friendly Atheist's YouTube series "Everything Wrong with...."  (Hemant Mehta has a website too.) As you'll see, just about every line is absurd and uproariously funny -- the book could have been written by the Monty Python gang. It looks like Mehta started a year ago and is just now getting to the end of Genesis. I've watch a few at random and found them brilliant, not to mention educational. He cleaves to the text with the help of good graphics while offering brief droll comments that are always well put. I now plan to watch them all in order. If you want a good sample, see the one on Genesis 19 , where we learn about Sodom and Gomorrah, poor Lot, his doomed wife, and his scheming incestuous daughters. You will have a laugh and go back for more, I'm sure.
