Oh, that's priceless! My favorite is #10.

[eve_prime]

#9 is my favourite. Ah, important omissions....

[owl_of_minerva]

oops, that was me. that'll teach me to log off.

[eve_prime]

#10 reminds me of The Book of J. I do like #9. #8 is good too, but it's a bit too close for comfort, since I tend to think that way. ;)

Thank you :)

I passed the idea on to a friend, who has put it in his own LJ - I'm about to take it into the courseI'm currently teaching - Christian Ethics.

This should be - interesting...

[owl_of_minerva]

Let me know how the Christian Ethics folks respond!

[ifimust]

Loved it :) Particularly about the fundamentalist preacher :)

It was a session on the problem of evil.

It was, against all the odds, very good.

Tired, but pleased.... :}

[ifimust]

Great! Will you post anything about the session to your own LJ? I'd be curious to hear...

(When I was writing my comps on medieval philosophy, I boned up on medieval problem of evil stuff, but couldn't for the life me really grasp why it was a problem. Since my conversion, I've been revisiting those notes and wondering to myself. Anyway, so all I really know about problem of evil is medieval. [I kind of like that rhyme...])

Hee. I love it. Especially the orthodox jewish and NT scholar entries. Zing!

Corey used to urge me to write a comic book about the misadventures of Herman Ootic. Or to include as many Os as possible when using the word hermenoooooooooooooooooootic in papers.

[owl_of_minerva]

That would be an awesome comic! Do it!! Oooooooooodles of fun.

[cheshcat]

Meant to tell you -- this was awesome. I'm sharing it with everyone. :)

[owl_of_minerva]

Excellent. I am glad to hear it.
