David recited Psalm 23 as he marched out to plunk Goliath right between the eyes with a stone? Come on!
Sunday's installment of The Bible on the History Channel was nearly unwatchable.
Except, like a car accident on the freeway, you had to look.
And speaking of David, did you get any sense, from the program, that this was a man after God's own heart?
On the other hand, if you want to believe this show, David was a man after Uriah's own wife. And the lusting began long before David became a peeping tom and watched Bathsheba get a sponge bath (at least that's what the show depicts).
I think the producers simply decided to use the Scriptures as source material to produce their own "Spartacus" program, but with less blood and sex.
I was rooting for this program. But it turns out that "The Bible" is so much less than the real thing.
If you keep on watching, keep a piece of paper and pencil handy. Make note of the stories the program shares. Then, get out your Bible, find the story and learn what really happened. And that may be the best thing that comes out of this - that some people will actually start reading their Bibles again.
