And, you're free to interpret the verb "to know" as anywhere from a casual acquaintance to outright shagging.

The Bible is mostly about men. I am limited to 20 entries in the poll. I just had to pick out some of the more salient characters.

Abraham. Just to tell him what an utter moron he is and that he should keep his insane delusions to himself and not let them out on other people.

Absalom seems like he would have been fun.

2 Samuel 16 wrote:
they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.


Absalom's father, David, did have quite a lot of concubines. It would have been fun at least to watch. Although, if he is on a roof-top, I wonder how much anyone would be able to see? An ampitheatre would have been a better venue.

I'd like to meet all of them, and show them in the bible and bring them up to date on current events.

Some of the ladies might prefer Onan, as being the first (and only) Biblical character to practise contraception. With anyone else, you'd be getting a creampie.

Where's Yahweh or God in that list?

Also, why aren't there any women? =/

Jacob - that lying, cheating, unethical, magical-thinking goon would be interesting to talk to, probably.

I want to meet Job and tell him that his God is a manipulative bastard.
I would also like to slap him in the face for being an idiot.

If David looks anything like the Michelangelo statue then I would like do be impure thing to him and his slingshot.

He already did a thread for the women of the bible.

So far, Jesus is in the lead. With his talent for healing, he would be a useful acquaintance, if you were ever sick, and especially if you couldn't afford a doctor or emergency room.

As for selling all of my goods to give the money to the poor: I'm already poor enough. The top one-percenters should do that.
