YMMV: Book Of Genesis
  • Fanon: What exactly was the sin of Sodom?
  • One-Scene Wonder:
    • For being mentioned in all of one line, Methuselah is the subject of a lot of extra-biblical stuff.
    • Nimrod is amazingly popular in folklore (the Tower of Babel was apparently built on his orders and he tried to have Abraham killed) and pop culture (shares the name as a villain from The X-Men).
  • Values Dissonance: Kill everybody, even the animals! Then kill the whole town. All of them. For whatever reason.
  • What Do You Mean, It's Not Didactic?: Besides the creation story (no, we are not going to open that can of worms here), there is Melchizedek, the High Priest who gave Abraham and Sarah bread, wine, and a blessing in the name of their God. Some uphold him as a metaphor or foreshadowing of Christ, others just see him as some priest-king-dude who did something nice for Abraham and Sarah.
