Made my night.<br /><br />Have you seen the brilliant theological Cartoon book (now out of print): "Wildlife in the Kingdom Come: An Explorer Looks at the Critters and Creatures of the Theological Kingdom" by Ken Johnson and John Coe?? It's pretty old and needs an updated version. But it's hilarious!<br /><br />I've blogged a few samples:<br /><a href="http://www.earngey.info/2009/05/21/the-process-thought-sliddus-withe-tidus/" rel="nofollow">The Process Thought (Sliddus Withe Tidus)</a><br /><a href="http://www.earngey.info/2009/05/28/the-radical-feminist-nailus-the-maleus/" rel="nofollow">The Radical Feminist: Nailus the Maleus</a><br /><a href="http://www.earngey.info/2009/05/19/the-neo-orthodox-bartis-bovine/" rel="nofollow">The Neo-Orthodox: Bartis Bovine</a><br /><a href="http://www.earngey.info/2009/05/16/the-calvinist-consumus-tulipius/" rel="nofollow">The Calvinist: Consumus Tulipius</a><br /><br />Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed these! :)Mark Earngeyhttp://www.earngey.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-23159272591401935152010-05-30T09:05:56.200-04:002010-05-30T09:05:56.200-04:00Wait for it, Roger, wait for it...Wait for it, Roger, wait for it...kim fabriciusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-17667386447255661902010-05-30T09:03:46.579-04:002010-05-30T09:03:46.579-04:00Thanks for all these entertaining responses!

Now there's a thought ...<br /><br /><i><b>Gregory of Nyssa</b><br />refutes a dismisser:<br />"The Father, the Son, the two are yet one -<br />The Cause and the Caused together belong."</i><br /><br />Every blessing, yours in Christ - JOHN HARTLEYJohn Hartleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-9566137443278474762010-05-29T06:25:29.396-04:002010-05-29T06:25:29.396-04:00@ Anonymous II - I hope you mean Pete Seeger the s...@ Anonymous II - I hope you mean Pete Seeger the singer (which still preserves your rhyme-scheme).kim fabriciusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-68510885777589197362010-05-29T06:14:03.536-04:002010-05-29T06:14:03.536-04:00If websites were cheese, we would need something t...If websites were cheese, we would need something to go with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14261952.post-46491756164264054952010-05-29T05:43:32.486-04:002010-05-29T05:43:32.486-04:00Kim Fabricious,
