    Well, some family members inherit certain genetic attributes and others don’t. After all, we’ve all got millions of ancestors, yet we’re only allotted 46 chromosomes. Not all genetic qualities will pass to the next generation. Some might skip a bit before re-appearing, and they may re-appear as different genetic traits in members of the same family.

    If Esau had a hair problem, maybe he should have shave it off.

    My uncle was a hairy bastard. You could’ve probably done Dreadlocks on his back. His oldest brother wasn’t so much.

    Which reminds me.

    Why do Italians wear gold chains?

    Jacob was the first Metrosexual.
    Maybe Jacob was wondering if they shared the same dad?

    so i take it that at school they teach you tolerance and diversity, but italian jokes are still ok.

    I tend toward the hairy, but I identify more with Jacob. So, where does that leave me?

    “I tend toward the hairy, but I identify more with Jacob. So, where does that leave me?”

    Response: Out of an inheritance, according to the Genesis Chapter 27. Assuming, of course, that your father is blind, and your mother is willing to help you deceive your father.

    15: I’ve wondered about that, myself.

    Of course, the first books of the Bible are intended to be a historical account from the universe’s creation up to Moses’ time, according to the oral history as passed down within the Hebrew tribes. As such, there would need to be an explanation of how Jacob became the patriarch of the tribe, rather than his brother, with no moral lesson intended.

    But since the inheritance was a blessing of God, transferred to Jacob through his deception, why could God not have reversed it in order to provide an example that “cheaters never prosper?”

    Of course, the other theory is that God wanted Jacob to have the blessing in the first place, and this was just the way it was made to happen. As the book of Job makes clear, God’s will is not subject to the traditions, devices, or control of men. After all, at one point God even sent “deceiving spirits” to convince a wayward king to enter into a war which he was doomed to lose (I forget chapter & verse).

    Looks like I’ve got to get back to the Old Testiment to do some reading, I haven’t done that in a while. I’ve spent most of my time in the New Testiment over the last several years.

    There is a lot of weird shit in the Bible. Stuff that’s so weird it’s pretty clear nobody ever intended it to be part of a “holy book,” but rather was just part of a legend passed down the generations and repeated, probably as accurately as any multi-generational game of telephone could be expected to be.

    You have a very, very odd sense of criteria for what should be included amongst the “holy books.”

    However, I rather like My holy books to include details from intimate histories. Some day, maybe another Roman Emperor will want to include links to Anthony Wiener’s underwear! Why not? Seems to me to be a lot more interesting than fanciful tales about virgins getting pregnant by me!

    Don’t you find it odd that no one has ever asked ME to reveal MY choices for what should be in My holy books?

    I am that I am.

    (I forget chapter & verse).

    Now that’s a strange comment. Remember “who” wrote #19.

    Regarding the verse above… If anyone cared to follow the story…

    These twins differences were foretold by God’s angel before their birth. Rebekah prayed for children and her prayer was answered by God that she would bare two sons. This angel also displayed for her their future history. Each son would become the head of a mighty nation, but that younger son would have superiority over his older brother and he would be greater than the older brother.

    Now to meet God’s requirement to create a great nation promised to Abraham we contrast the two sons. Reading the Bible further we see Esau was more like libtardos today. Esau was way into his own self-gratification. Esau was always into the present, not looking into the future. He gave up his birthright for a bowl of food. Jacob on the other hand was a thinker. He was a farmer, shepherd and family caretaker, thinking about the future; express traits not found in libtardos. Jacob met those qualities God needed for a future national leader. Esau did not!

    Farah: Criminalize Homosexuality Just Like Murder, Child Molestation

    Submitted by Brian on June 13, 2011 – 12:37pm

    Joseph Farah, the editor of WorldNetDaily, laments about the gains of the gay-rights movement. According to Farah, the Lawrence v. Texas decision which said that state anti-sodomy laws were unconstitutional was a tragedy for the country because it effectively stopped states from criminalizing sin. He claims that “from murder, to theft, to adultery, to child molestation,” people have “the right and the duty” to make laws banning “sinful behavior,” including sodomy. He insists that gay people and their allies are simply inventing new rights and that the LGBT community is only using the marriage debate “to demonstrate they are ‘oppressed’” because they have “no real interest in marriage”:
