Poor Old Moses
• Christian Pop Culture
Bible epics aren't what they used to be. Take Moses' from ABC's The Ten Commandments :
Tonight, back from his conference with the burning bush and heading toward Egypt, he stumbles over a rock and mutters, "You'd think if this is what He wanted He'd make the going a little easier." Tomorrow, he furrows his brow and frets, " 'I am who I am.' What does that mean? Why give me a riddle to solve?" And while he struggles with his faith, he's got to cope with logistics. When Aaron says, "The well's run dry. We need you to tell us where to go next," Moses sighs and manages a shrug. Is this the prince of Egypt or a shift manager at Starbucks?
