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!

So this Moses guy went up the hill and communed with God, who gave him slabs of stone with The Law inscribed on them. Moses agreed that he'll try to get the folks to follow the law, and got down to the camp. But the folks had gotten bored and remembering the gorgeous temples of Egypt, had fashioned themselves a figure to worship. This made the Moses-guy totally enraged, and he took it out on the stone slabs he had with much effort brought down from the palaver.
