History Webcomic / HolyBibble

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the current version of the comic, Cain doesn't kill Abel (Lilith does, and he ends up saddled with the blame) and is generally a nice (if very [[EmoTeen emo]]) guy. The only difference between the current version and the original version in this regard is that in that version it was Satan after mistaking one of Cain's poems for a prayer for Abel's death.

!!''Holy Bibble'' provides Examples Of:

* AnythingThatMoves: Shamash, Lilith/Ishtar's djinn servant, is obsessed with sex. In fact, he starts pestering Lilith to do him right after finding out that they're apparently trapped in Heaven for eternity.

* BloodKnight: Zadkiel is one, but almost all warrior angels fit here.

* CainAndAbel: [[http://holy-bibble.com/comics/69/ Literally]].
** In at least two versions of the comic, Cain actually had nothing to do with Abel's death. In a previous version, Satan killed Abel because he mistook Cain's lamenting poem about being bullied by his family for a prayer for his death, and in the current version, Lilith/Ishtar kills him after [[ItMakesSenseInContext he pukes on her.]]

** Gilgamesh, too. He loves fighting as much as he likes sex, and the tougher the monster, the better. When his mother warns him that Humbaba will be able to snap him in two, he's [[http://holy-bibble.com/comics/247 practically ecstatic]].

* ReallyGetsAround: Shamash, Lilith/Ishtar's djinn servant, is obsessed with sex. In fact, he starts pestering Lilith to do him right after finding out that they're apparently trapped in Heaven for eternity.
** Lilith herself is pretty sex-obsessed, but still not as much as Shamash.

[[http://holy-bibble.com Holy Bibble]] is a three-panel, daily parody of Literature/TheBible, hosted on Website/ComicFury. While its main focus is humor and satire, its scope does extend beyond mere parody. It has an extensive cast of angels, many of whom play as "god types" (such as Lilith, the goddess of love, who can pose as Ishtar/Hathor/Aphrodite/etc.) At the heart of Bibble is an extensive backstory that binds all of the stories of the bible (as well as ancient mythology and historical events) together in order to try to understand them in a greater context.

1. The mortal story, which is often biblical and sometimes historical (such as Hammurabi and King Tut).

2. The angel story, which includes both the good and bad angels, how they interact with the mortals, and how they interact with each other.

3. The angel backstory, which tells the story of how many of the angels came to fall in the first place.

Notable recurring characters include {{God}}, {{Satan}}, {{UsefulNotes/Lilith}}, and the archangels [[{{ArchangelMichael}} Michael]] and [[{{ArchangelGabriel}} Gabriel]].

The comic initally began in 2005, where it was more of a gag comic and followed the bible directly. As the comic neared the end of Genesis with the stories of Joseph, it began to update infrequently, and eventually shut down. In 2010 there was a brief reboot that attempted to include mythological stories (like the story of Amaterasu), but it only lasted for about a year. In 2014, a third reboot was started, and continues to this day. The third version included more myths, including Literature/InannasDescentToTheNetherworld and Literature/TheEpicOfGilgamesh, as well as a backstory of the comic's version of the angels.

[[http://holy-bibble.com Holy Bibble]] is a three-panel, daily parody of Literature/TheBible, hosted on Website/ComicFury. It is primarily a critical jab at religion, and while it is unique in that it does not insult religion directly like many atheist comics do, it does not hold back in revealing the hypocrisies, violence, and general douchebaggery of many religious and mythological figures. It is blasphemous, to be sure, so make sure your sense of humor is bigger than your sense of righteous indignation before reading.

That being said, its scope does extend beyond mere parody. It has an extensive cast of angels, many of whom play as "god types" (such as Lilith, the goddess of love, who can pose as Ishtar/Hathor/Aphrodite/etc.) At the heart of Bibble is an extensive backstory that binds all of the stories of the bible (as well as ancient mythology and historical events) together in order to try to understand them in a greater context.

[[http://holy-bibble.com Holy Bibble]] is a three-panel, daily parody of Literature/TheBible, hosted on Website/ComicFury. However, its scope extends far beyond that.

Warning: To some who may take the bible very seriously, this comic might not be right for them. Aside from blasphemous ideas, it also includes high levels of violence and sexual content. Even so, most of the content is highly tongue-in-cheek, silly, and cutesy. In other words: make sure your sense of humor is bigger than your sense of righteous indignation before reading.

Notable recurring characters include {{God}}, {{Satan}}, [[{{Main.Lilith}} Lilith]], and the archangels [[{{ArchangelMichael}} Michael]] and [[{{ArchangelGabriel}} Gabriel]].
