Hello. I love us. From the dinosaur comics to the leprechaun to the commandment jokes, it's been a great morning.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
And Jesus in his agony did cry out on the cross, "Either that wallpaper goes or I do!"
This just made me laugh so hard I cried!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yet Islam also has a significant impact on our world. The U.S. has been involved in the Middle East for decades. I'm convinced that a better understanding of Islam and Judaism would only help the U.S. situation there.
Yet Prof. Prothero's "(Christian) Bible-only" solution does nothing toward that set of issues.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
D'Israeli said stuff? Now I have to go back to my quote file and check.
Rome. (I mean, the Pope is there, right??)
Ha!
Comparative Religions. It's the only way. How many people know that (major simplification alert) those scary Muslims believe in the Bible plus stuff?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
But if there were comparative-religion classes everywhere, then people couldn't get away with idiotic urban legend nonsense like claiming that cattle-mutliations were done by Zoroastrians!
Won't you think of the X-Files plots??
(Not that a religions course would even get to Zoroastrians, because they'd spend their whole time being defensive and argumentative about the Big Three, and spend maybe a half-hour on peyote, and everything else would be a handout on the last day of class.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cashmere, that picture is hilarious!

I didn't mean a crap comparative religion class. I meant a decent one. Not that we did more than glance past Zoroastrians (spent more time on Jainism, all told), but there was nothing either defensive or argumentative about the coverage.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
For Jesus did then enter into the land of the Ephesians, and He did then go unto the Office of Customs, and the Officer of Customs did ask the Lord if He had anything to declare, and lo, the Lord Jesus Christ did speak unto him, saying, "Only my brilliance."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Indeed.

I think it's hard enough to convince a lot of kids that reading is a pleasant activity without throwing the Bible in there.
