Wasn't that from that Star Trek episode where the energy creature had been a serial killer in different bodies for millennia - like Jack the Ripper and so on?
I've been reading the Book of Genesis ( "Catholic Action Edition", 1952, which is the only one I have, and I don't care enough to get another version)
All I can say is those people were messed up. And The Lord is a real manipulative sourpuss. He admits himself that he made a mistake by creating humans, and he sure didn't fix it with that whole ark thing, so so much for being all-knowing. And there's way too much dismissive genealogy (i.e. so and so begat so and so, plus they had a whole bunch of other kids). the only remotely likable character is Sarah, and she dies halfway through.
It confirms my suspicions that the whole universe is someone's Sea Monkey colony that they only occasionally take an interest in, and will someday just flush down the toilet.
I'm going to keep at it though, and see how far along I get. If I can make my way through "The Fountainhead" I can get through at least the Old Testament.
This quotation is perfectly cromulent, if you're illustrating how liars will include excessive amounts of detail in their fabrications for verisimilitude.
Oh, wait...
