The Five Constipated Men in the Bible

Occasionally an opportunity comes along to post something that will define your blog. This is it. What will I stand and fight for? What will I let go through to the keeper? This is that blogpost.

There is a lot of unwholesome content on the web. Much of it is related to humour. Jokes are driven from creating an expectation and then breaking it. As the moral degradation of society continues, the level of shock and surprise needed for impact increases, to the point where I find it almost impossible to go and watch stand-up comedy. So what?

I've been sitting on this post (no pun intended) for a few weeks now. I recently went to add a heap more 'BLOGS I READ' to the main page, but decided to wait for a few more weeks. This reconsideration was because on one of the Christian blogs I was going to add, the author dropped an f-bomb. What will define my blog? How far is too far? What would stop people from reading and linking to me, if I posted it?

The five constipated men in the Bible.

I found these guys through a weird series of events. And actually, since then I've discovered five more. And for all those egalitarians a woman is included as well (though only one, which is more evidence the Bible is sexist just like that chauvinist Paul). Plus there's one I made up myself.

For those whose consciences might be seared by such vulgarity I have included the first two in the post, and the rest in the comments (feed readers need to click here).

For your enjoyment;
The Constipated Men (and Woman) in the Bible;
Cain, "he wasn't Abel"
Moses, he took two tablets...

  1. The Constipated Men (and Woman) in the Bible
    1. Cain, "he wasn't Abel"
    2. Moses, he took two tablets.
    3. Balaam, he couldn't move his ass
    4. Solomon, he sat for forty years (on the throne)
    5. Samson, he brought the house down
    6. Noah, he sat for forty days and all he passed was water OR, he had an ark full OR, he filled the ark (and all he passed was water)
    7. Pharoah, he wouldn't let go
    8. Eve, she passed the apple
    9. David, he dropped a giant OR he dropped a big one
    10. Titus, his name speaks for itself

    There are some passable ones which I have chosen not to include such as;
    Joshua, he blew the walls down
    Adam, he soiled the garden

    My suggestion is based on Philippians 3:13
    Paul, was always straining.

  2. Was the f-bomb mine? Can't say my stats have suffered...

    I'm sure there must be something in the Peter/Rock thing.

  3. No, it wasn't you. But I enjoy your blog and only recently added it to Google Reader so I missed the bomb. But as I've been delaying putting links onto others blogs, I am beginning to realise that to link is not to offer blanket approval. It's all a matter of context and relationship. Like the way we don't have to agree with every aspect of a person's theology in order to be in fellowship.

  4. I certainly hope the fact that I'm on your list is not a tacit endorsement of all of my content.

    I wouldn't even endorse all of my content.

    I do enjoy my privileged status in your links...
