[crazyprayingmantis]

There were lots of talking Donkeys the last time i was at church, the loudest one stood up the front.

[hamobu]

Talking donkey proves that the Bible is set in the Shrek universe.

[tussk.]

God - Hey, don't hit your donkey!

Slaves - Hey, what about us?

God - What about you?

[MattyboiLive]

Unless this talking donkey sounded like Eddie Murphy, I'm not buying it

[ashleyvanbeek]

after getting tired of Balaam's crap, this donkey would eventually leave him and wander into a swamp, where he became friends with an ogre

[sauron]

it's interesting how God have no problem appearing & chatting with a non-Israelite prophet in this story & that didn't took away his free will, so God should have no problem appearing to us right now, but he doesn't & we're left with more excuses from apologetics.

[tomsenior]

We thoroughly enjoyed Aesop's Fables when we were children. These fantastical adventures were engaging. They were exciting. They were fun. The moral of the tale was easy to grasp. We saw no problem with talking animals and supernatural creatures & magic. Then again, we were not forced to accept these stories as doctrine, or kneel before Aesop under pain of eternal torture.

[kevincrady]

*Israelites:* "Well, there goes Balaam again, talking out of his ass!"

[donaldnumbskull]

Your talk was interrupted by an ad for a donkey sanctuary. "And the donkey said to Balaam - Adopt a donkey today!" Perfect timing.

[BlessYourHeart]

Sunday morning, and Mindshift is so much better than church!

[samwell]

Christians: yeah see, that’s just the Old Testament

…

Peter: mentions the talking donkey in his letter.

[CatDaddyGuitar]

7:40 "... I have sinned for I did not know.."

That's an issue right there.

[BluStarGalaxy]

And they want this kind of stuff in school classrooms.
Parent: What did you learn today?
Kid: I don’t really know.

[noahmoffitt]

1:34 "Turn with me, if you like, in your Bibles" God, you sounded like my pastor for a second there lmao

[whizler]

The best thing a talking donkey ever said: "I'm making waffles!"

[chrisharris]

And they all lived happily ever after, except the donkey who was burned at the stake for being a witch

[pinky]

In the church I was in, they liked to say: "God can use anything as his instrument, look, he even spoke through a donkey." I was not popular when I pointed out, shortly after I left the church, in a meeting with the pastor and his wife, that God NEVER spoke through a donkey, according to the bible he just made it possible for the donkey to speak, as himself, not as God.

[josephbelisle]

'Do as I say, not as I do'. Book of Narcissism chapter 1 verse 1.

'I am the gas lighter, be a fool for no one but me'. Verse 2

[clearstream]

My ass talks to me after a big bowl of chili😁

[soyevquirsefron]

I heard one preacher who didn’t deny Trump’s moral shortcomings but he did say “god spoke through a donkey so god can speak through trump”

They’ll accept anything that furthers their agenda
