It's the numbers of vicious marsupials out to drown innocent swimmers in rivers ALL over the world that gets to me.

I thought we Placental Mammels had beat them at the evolutionary game -- I guess we were wrong.

So who would a win the fight, if they were ever in the same body of water: vicious aquatic marsupials or giant otters?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Which of them have zombie ferrets on their side?

Well, I imagine it would depend on which side zombified the ferrets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My father's fellow ministers continue to draw from Buffy....

This weeks first lection should attract those of us who found joy and insight in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (more the TV series than the film). "Cease doing evil, learn to do good." Angel, Spike, Andrew, Willow (after going off the deep end and nearly destroying the world), Oz, even Buffy herself, and I'm sure other characters over the years made shifts from being evil to learning to be good. (Spike of course is the epitome of this - the key nemesis of Buffy's mission who eventually descends into the abyss to get a soul so he can love Buffy.)

Of course, when you read those two phrases from Isaiah, you think, "well, duh! 'Quit evil, learn good.' Hardly original with Isaiah." And yet, how much we still need to pay attention to the simplest of ideas.

This is from a listserv he's on where ministers toss around ideas relating to the weekly readings, among other things (I guess....).

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.

Was Oz ever really evil? I mean, werewolf, sure, but he was never a particularly evil werewolf. He was pretty chilled. He did bad things when he was a wolf, but that was never a conscious choice.

I don't remember Oz going evil - I mean, he wasn't even evil in the Wishverse.

What is even happening?

No, he wasn't evil, but he is a monster. And before he was found out/'fessed up to the gang, he was trying to handle the problem by himself. We don't know if he killed anyone (although there were maulings, etc., in Phases, weren't there). We know he could have.

He also backslid, before he left. He went out on the prowl with Veruca, and chances are it wasn't just a mating dance, but that they did some damage, as well.

The evil is this way?

They killed bunnies? ::shudder::

So, what you're saying is that Oz didn't go evil -- Oz is evil because he is a monster, the way that Anya and Angel are evil. (Or Anya was evil -- when she was a demon.)
