Transcript

[A woman is praying]

Woman: Dear lord…

God: Yes, my child?

[The woman looked up]

Woman: When Barak was pursuing Sisera's routed army to Harosheth, and Jael took Sisera into her tent, why did she feed him and comfort him, then kill him violently.

[Panel 3]

God: Christ, that's obscure. What book was that? Was it one of the weird ones?

[Panel 4]

Woman: Book of judges.

God: Okay, well, I dunno. I guess maybe she was a mean lady? And you shouldn't be mean to people?

[The woman is thinking]

Woman: Like it's a cautionary tale?

Sure, yeah.

[The woman is confused]

Woman: But nothing bad happens to her, and then there's a song verse about how great she is for killing him, and then there's forty years of peace.

[Panel 7]

God: Actually, that whole section. That's not supposed to be taken literally

Woman: But it's written like history. How can you derive a moral from it?

[The woman is now angry]

God: It's a myyyysteryyyy. WooOOOoooOOOooh!

Woman: I'm gonna go worship Moloch.
