If 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!

Moses talks with God and inscribes the law on stone tablets. Moses comes down from the mountain and people are all scared of him because the glory of God is shining from him so someone throws a cloth over his head.

Moses sees people dancing around a golden calf and is pretty ticked off.

(I wasn't sure how much of the golden calf stuff should be included if we're 'ending with the golden calf')

Moses throws the stone tablets and breaks them saying that the Israelites aren't worthy of them.

I think there was something about grinding the calf up into water and making the people drink it.
