Habakkuk for Skeptics

Sometimes it's fun to quote the bible at parties. One of my favorites is Habakkuk 2:16: "Drink thou also and let thy foreskin be uncovered." Thank God for Habakkuk.

Other highlights:

• "God ... had horns coming out of his hand. ... Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet." 3:3-5

• "The sun and moon stood still in their habitation." This verse apparently refers to Joshua 10:12-13, where God makes the sun stand still.  3:11

• Habakkuk praises God for slaughtering "the heathen." 3:12

• "Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses." 3:15
