i've been watching the show, and find it enjoyable and funny.
i understand it's a comedy, but quoting from the bible even parts for tv, should be as close to the
original text as possible, even when putting a spin on it for laughs.
when the actor says " did you know god split a baby in half" and repeats it 2-3 times during the
episode.
this of course is false as stated below:
solomon
one of the qualities most ascribed to solomon is his wisdom. one account, that of solomon suggesting
to divide a baby in two to determine its real mother, is from the old testament of the bible in the
book of kings. in this often-quoted passage, two prostitutes came before solomon to resolve a
quarrel about which of them was the true mother of a baby. (the other baby died in the night and
each claims the surviving child as hers.) when solomon suggests dividing the living child in two
with a sword, the true mother is revealed to him because she is willing to give up her child to the
lying woman rather than have the child killed. solomon then declares the woman who shows the
compassion is the true mother and hands the child to her.
yes! again i understand "comedy". but quoting parts of the bible out of context i think takes some
of the laughter away from a great tv show.
