When in Exodus 33 God denies Moses' request to show him His face, He offers instead to show His "backside." This not only inspired some great art by Michelangelo but can get our joke-making muscles going like nobody's business! Here's are a few "wisecracks" by yours truly....
Despite the fact that the Bible takes place in an always-patriarchal world and commands allegiance to a singular, male god, it's hardly a pro-male text.
