In any case, you may have decided you had it with the stupid beast, and you've decided to give a chance to the smart and small, just like a bike or canoe. "Do not feed the dinosaur" seems like a good start. I'm OK with the sentiment, but I'm having trouble with the metaphor. SUVs and motorboats run on dead dinosaurs. They don't feed them. Good luck with your campaign. Steve Oh, that's ANOTHER metaphor. Why would God wipe out the dinosaurs, to provide oil for his worshippers in SUVs and motorboats? Oh sure, they are fulfilling the prophecies that big is good, if you ever find one. They no doubt would have sided with Rome at its prime (not the Vatican but the Roman Empire). But what if God decides to wipe out the new dinosaurs and make room for the furry little mammals? Perhaps that would be the Second Coming of Jesus on a donkey --or bicycle or canoe. Then the cyclists and canoeists will lead the next revolution... For those who only listen to the preacherman, here's what the Bible says... John's gospel records that Jesus rejected the call to be their warrior king. Mounting a young donkey, he rode into Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy of Zephaniah: "Fear not, Daughter of Sion, your king is coming, mounted on a donkey's colt." Not a fearsome warrior, he was the humble king the prophet described. In Jerusalem he would open his arms to the poor outcasts of the world.. "At the time his disciples did not understand this..." John concludes. http://www.cptryon.org/prayer/season/palm.html Seems to me the best metaphor (or maybe contrast) is Don Quixote attacking windmills that he believes to be ferocious giants. One would think that a poster called donquijote might pick up on this.... |
