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!

The people below get bored and upset that Moses isn't there, and end up making a golden calf. When Moses comes down they are partying it up with their new golden idol, dancing around it and pretty much breaking the first commandment (I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other...).
I'm really not so hot on what I would call the Old Testament yet. I need to find a class on it and get better.
I continue to be Roman Catholic. :-)
