The Bible From Down Under

Genesis

"There was this sheila who came across a snake-in-the-grass with all the cunning of a con man. The snake asked her why she didn't just grab lunch off the tree in her garden.

"God, she said, had told her she'd be dead meat if her fruit salad came from that tree, but the snake told her she wouldn't die. So she took a good squiz [look] and then a bite and passed the fruit on to her bloke.

"Right then and there, they'd realized what they'd done and felt starkers [naked]"

"God is the station [ranch] owner, and I am just one of the sheep. He musters me down to the lucerne flats, and feeds me there all week."

Who knew the Bible was a "ripping yarn about Jesus of Nazareth" in which Mary was "a pretty special sheila," Jesus was "God's toddler," and the Three Wise Men were "eggheads from out east"?




This is from Volume Two of the Aussie Bible. We have the King James Bble, and now we have the Strine Bible.

"Out of the blue God knocked up the whole bang lot.... God said 'let's have some light' and bingo – light appeared."

waxy,

this reminds me of some of the work that Reg Mombassa did for Mambo, with Australian Jesus and Mambo Theology.

Found this on one of Reg's sites. It's titled 'Temptation in the light industrial garden of Eden'
