Venus & Mars?

Luke 24:11 (NIV) "But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense"
Yes, out of its context, this is one of those humorous verses of the Bible. It always reminds me of the whole Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus book/lecture series/program etc. I'm always half tempted to read that verse aloud to my wife during those moments of frustration we have from time to time, but my better judgement usually helps me refrain from such silliness. Even at work where most of my coworkers are female I've been tempted to have that verse engraved on a desk plaque or something, but again, better judgement wins the day in the end. Perhaps I'll have my boys read that as they approach dating age, but if I had a daughter about to approach that age, I'd absolutely tell her that EVERYTHING A BOY SAYS IS NONSENSE, DON'T BELIEVE A WORD! Yes, I'm sure reason will win out then too and I'll just not bring up this verse.

Oh well, in the end, men are not from Mars and neither are women from Venus; both are created by God and though out of context, the verse sure does sound funny, in the end (with the verse in context) it was the women who were right and the men's disbelief was the actual nonsense!

God Bless you and keep and have a great weekend, be sure to Go To Church!
