I admit I don't blame the characters for not asking too many questions (for example, am I completely drunk off my tree or did I eat the wrong mushrooms) given that in this series God isn't an act of faith but a fact of life. Still chalk it up as further proof that God is capable of witnessing to his people without killing them horribly but chooses not to because he's an even bigger dick than Superman.Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11936002393931074811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-23446711812499712482014-10-06T10:19:30.571-07:002014-10-06T10:19:30.571-07:00But does he appear miraculously?

Or could he just have been some guy who wandered in?Firedrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-17962453321784389082014-10-06T09:32:15.508-07:002014-10-06T09:32:15.508-07:00Re:Anak:

He accomplishes nothing except giving Ellanjay an excuse to do some preaching.

It's an extreme version of salvation-through-faith, I suppose, the sort of thing I'd expect from Jack Chick (who was my entry into fundy-watching).<br /><br />I confess I don't regard a guy who turns up in robe and sandals quoting the Bible as incontrovertible proof of the divine. I can find one at the local market many days. Does Anak actually <i>do</i> anything?<br /><br />I have a lot more computers than most people. I'm pretty sure they'd all fit in the back of my car, though.<br /><br />Dishes don't feel the soap. Steel doesn't feel itself melting.<br /><br />"No matter what age you are, we've got a place for you and your unquestioning obedience!" Where <i>does</i> "adventure story for children" turn into "recruiting call for child soldiers", anyway?Firedrakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882696241406815138.post-28695783820074318922014-10-04T20:59:18.829-07:002014-10-04T20:59:18.829-07:00Dear Mouse, I just discovered your blog a few mont...Dear Mouse, I just discovered your blog a few months ago. I spent today reading from the beginning to somewhere a short while after high school. The fact that you've been doing this for almost four years, across only you know how many books is nothing short of commendable. Even if comments have dropped off, you're still awesome.Ghost of 503noreply@blogger.com
