New Study Reveals Good Looks = Bad Theology

I'm certainly more confident about my theology after reading the article.

But who rated the theology as good or bad? :wink:

How would telling people to be nice to one another get a man crucified? What government would execute Mister Rogers or Captain Kangaroo?

Hm. Don't I seem to remember something about camels and needle's eyes? Or a couple of guys called Dives and Lazarus? I've just been singing a piece by Bach which talks about filling the hungry with good things and sending the rich empty away - I wonder where he got those pinko ideas from.

My question, are there no "good" or "sound" theologians to photograph today? I would think that something like "Glamor Shots" could prove or disprove the good looking/ugly theological conundrum. What do you do if "Glamor Shots" just turns you down for cause? :whistle:

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
