Which cartoon character most reminds you of God?

Actually, so far this thing is kinda good. He talks about how Bugs Bunny reminds him of God and why, and then says that he doesn’t mean this in a disrespectful way:

There is sacredness to our imaginations, and many things can remind us of God, if we open ourselves up that kind of holy kidnapping.

That’s a good quote. I think I’ll add that to my Quote-o-matic. Yeah, this guy’s pretty smart. I like what he says about Christianity:

However, the essence of being a faithful Christian is learning how to break the rules at the proper time. So, too often in the process of socializing our children to follow the rules, we rob them of the discernment needed to know when to follow rules and when to break them. Have we unintentionally robbed our children of their intuition how to recognize the rule-maker? Christianity is this wild religion that has always been more concerned about following Jesus than following the rules of Jesus.

…Mistakes are the guaranteed outcome of wild abandon. Mistakes are a sign of growth. That is why both the Old and New Testaments are brimming over with people who made mistakes. The church should be the one place in our culture where mistakes are not only expected but also welcomed.

Oh well, after that it stops talking about Looney Tunes. It was a pretty good opening hook though, and a decent overall message.

“Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, from the traps set by evildoers. Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by in safety.” - Psalm 141:9-10 (NIV)

Yeah, that’s pretty much the angle I’ll take that article from I think. It’s perfect actually. That article pretty much writes itself. Nice work everybody.

I’m gonna look around for some other stuff. I have this other idea about the Tasmanian Devil as being realted sort of to this pagan idea of the Green Man, or of a Dionysian frenzy. That should be fun to look into. I also sort of have this other image of the Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner thing being a sort of New Testament version to Bugs Bunny as the Old Testament approach to the same sort of story. I’m not really phrasing that well, but I’ll get back atcha.
