Good Old Abe

As I continued to read the Book of Genesis I reached the part where Abraham was in the process of sacrificing Isaac, and yes, once again I was reminded of Year One. Abraham's part in that movie was so essential to the humor it was able to port


This clip gives great references to many events in the Bible. The first is obviously Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, but humor can be found in this because it is Jack Black and Michael Cera's characters are the ones who are "sent by god" to stop the sacrifice.


There is also a reference to Genesis 17 in which Abraham talks about circumcision. he reference to it being "a very sleek look" and "going to catch on" was a humors hint at how common the practice has become after once only being a religious act.
