cellioIf you are so inclined, I'm curious about your response to the following (replies initially screened; will unscreen and explain Wednesday):
Without looking, summarize what happened at Mount Sinai according to the torah, starting with God beginning to speak and ending with the golden calf. I'm looking for up to a few sentences, not detailed essays. (You can skip the building of the calf.)
If you like, please also say how you identify religiously (or that you don't).
Edit: Comments no longer initially screened. Also, there was one comment that the poster asked me to keep screened, which I thought I had done, but it's gone now. If I screwed that up, I apologize!

Date: 2007-01-23 05:21 am (UTC)Moses went up Mt. Sinai and God spoke to him there. Laid down the law, so to speak, on the tablets.
Well, it took a long time, during which time the Israelites began to believe Moses to be dead and they began to despair that God had forsaken them. So they built the calf as a backup idol.
...am I right? Am I even close?
