Question #3:
Which epic biblical character had more
swag?
NOAH OR MOSES?
The argument:
On one hand, Noah did build an enormous boat capable of holding
tons of weight, and he lived in it for over a year! That would take stellar
engineering, inordinate patience, and a whole lot of fresh drinking water…I
mean, a whole lot of faith. Presumably, he also got
tossed around on the sea for over three months; didn’t squirm a bit at all the
lions, tigers, and bears (oh my!); and I’m not even going to speculate on who
mucked the pachyderm stalls (think about it). So yeah, he was a pretty tough
character.
On the other hand, Moses brought all those plagues to Egypt (with
a little help, of course), spoke to a burning bush, and wandered in the desert
for forty years! Okay, so he might want to take that last one off his resume – not
exactly a positive endorsement. (MacGyver would have at least built a compass.)
However, Moses did part the Red Sea and walk across the bottom. And of course,
there’s Charlton Heston.
So that kind of clenches the deal.
I'm gonna have to go with MOSES!

And now, it's time to return to my day job: writing Dark Fantasy
Fiction & Gothic Romance!
Please tune in next week for another utterly-mindless, nonsensical
question!
Until then...
Cheers!

BA in Psychology and an MA in Nonprofit Management, and I write a wicked, dark,
edgy, action-packed story...but I just don't have time to blog. Oh, and I
will interrupt this mindless nonsense (from time to time) to post about
new releases, upcoming books, videos, contests, or other various teasers...just
so you know. :-)
I am voting for Noah. He never was pretentious.
ReplyDeleteMoses got in trouble a lot for saying her did this or that, when it was Not him but God.
I'm voting for Moses. You got the ten commandments, the burning bush, and of course parting of the Red Sea. Don't get me wrong. Noah was amazing too.
ReplyDeleteI think they are equals. They each did amazing things but if you also take in to account what they did wrong they both screwed up just as bad as the amazing things they done. Noah - got drunk & nekkid and run around cussing everybody! Moses - couldn't find the promise land because he thought he was better than God. So in the end they both have the same amount of swag and gangsta!
ReplyDeleteMoses. Just to be able to bring down plagues... That's cool enough for me.
ReplyDeleteI don't think my original answer posted. But I'm going Team Moses. He's a prophet with the power of God flowing through him. Long robe, staff...he's essentially Gandalf...and Gandalf ROCKS!! AND...he doesn't need an Ark to travel over water. He just parts it and strolls on through.
ReplyDeleteI vote Noah, the man, the hero, the legend.! Did Moses save all those animals? Uhhh...no, but Noah did and he can build a mean Ark. Just sayin' those carpenter skills come in handy (Jesus anyone?) Moses was boring, yeah he parted the red sea but, that's just a parlor trick. IMHO :)
