Not really, just something new. I'm tired of hearing and talking about the same ol' stuff...

There is this book (Bel & the Dragon, not Job) about slaying a dragon. I read it inside the Catholic Bible years ago in New York. Bel and the Dragon is an apocryphal Jewish story which appears as chapter 14 of the Septuagint Greek version of the Book of Daniel and is accepted as scripture by some Christians, though not in Jewish tradition. The ... Read Morestory is not primarily about either the god Bel or the dragon, but relates several legends about the prophet Daniel, who defeats the priests of Bel in one episode, then kills a dragon whom the Babylonians believe is a god, and finally is cast once again into the famous lion's den, where he receives a miraculous visit from the Judean prophet, Habukkuk.
