BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

New Narnia film stirs religious controversy | Reuters

Aslan, wrote Lewis, "is an invention giving an imaginary answer to the question: 'What might Christ become like if there really were a world like Narnia?'"

One, for example, has Aslan explaining to the children that, 'in your world, I have another name. You must learn to know me by it.'

That other name is Jesus Christ, we're informed in the 'sermon outlines.' No mention of Buddha or Mohammad."


New Narnia film stirs religious controversy Reuters: "The site provides outlines of sermons based on the Narnia stories and a video message from 'Dawn Treader' executive producer Douglas Gresham, a stepson of Lewis. It even offers video clips from the movie to share with churchgoers.


"Aslan symbolizes a Christlike figure, but he also symbolizes for me Mohammed, Buddha and all the great spiritual leaders and prophets over the centuries," Neeson said.



Find it funny, how Christians has taken the Bible, which is really a set of books, (sermons, writing, letters, etc.), recollections by different authors recreating  the controversial  life of a Jewish Heretic named Jesus claiming to be the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost; writings all written and bounded long after his  Crucifixion on the Cross.
