Without Blog@, I would totally never post

This is kind of neat. I haven't read through them yet, but they look remarkably entertaining. Though not nearly as much fun as reading Chick Tracts. But then, what is?

I love Chick Tracts, by the way. Especially the Dungeons and Dragons/Witchcraft one where the girl kills herself because her character dies in the game. That happens all the time in my RPG group, ya know.

I do like the linked example especially because, and this may well be sacreligious, but it's really a crap illustration of sacrifice. Why not show someone giving a favorite toy to a friend? Or going without a new outfit to help someone else? I really don't think eating food you don't like counts as a sacrifice. Something to endure, maybe, but sacrifice?

Unless maybe it's to pretend to like it to spare the cook's feelings. But then, I'd imagine he/she would hear you tell the Lord you'd eat it for him anyway.

I might be thinking too hard about this. I'm awfully literal minded sometimes which is why I've never done very well in religious education. ("Um, Miss Barbara? Why are we pretending to be cannibals? And why does Jesus taste like cardboard and bad grape juice?")

...come to think of it, wouldn't the Bible make an awesome comic book? I mean there's death, destruction, badassery, rape, sexism, racism, magic and all sorts of fun things like that. It'd be a blast!

Sometimes I suspect that what I ended up getting out of my early religious education was not what I was intended to get from it. Oh well. :-)
