Next semester, D. will be taking Moral Philosophy and Philosophy of Religion.
As many of our UK friends have offered us the information that they are atheists (Apparently being Americans means that we demand that information be offered up voluntarily?) D. expects his courses next term to be quite… contentious. Friday’s guest lecture was a warm up to the topic, where a senior fumbled through a presentation on Soteriological theory, getting derailed by hoots of derision from the audience, and scowling a lot. (In defense [?] of the voluble scoffing, she theorized that God chose the Earth – out of other worlds – to maximize the number of people saved while still allowing free will. Um. Must read up on the theory a bit further…). While trying to puzzle through her presentation, D. discovered a guy in the audience wearing the accompanying image on a t-shirt.
Boy, howdy, next semester’s going to be some fun.
Yours in cheerful expectation,
– D & T

Wow. The t-shirt speaks volumes. I’d love to know how that class turns out.
that’s a great t-shirt!
as I slog through my history/pedagogical classes, I miss the discussions in philosophy. Looking forward to hearing about next semester’s classes
I love that shirt! Cute little dinosaur in Jesus’ arms. I’m just trying to picture what was going on in the artist’s head.
it is the whole timeline of dinosaurs doesn’t fit well with a sole scriptura interpretation of genesis, noah’s ark, the age of the Earth. The dinosaur has become a very real symbol of anti-theism.
