[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

no need to feel ugly...

Yeah, I want dinner after looking at that.

stop being Dinner Doodle dibbler, Dibble...our church service ends around noon every Sunday, yet no one has trouble going to lunch, even though the blood of Christ is a common topic in our church.

the doodle contrasted the ugliness of sin with the glory of being saved.

Do you routinely show pictures from snuff films during your church services?

no thanks, I looked up the definition.

It is not uncommon for us to show depictions of the Crucifixion on Easter Sunday.  Of course you would have a problem with it.

Reminds me of a memory that sticks out like a sore thumb. I had RE every day when I was younger and I was about 8 years old and it was Easter and everyone had to draw the Crucifixion; for some it was the opportunity to get the red crayon out and draw a bloodbath (which would never have been allowed in any other drawing) Anyway, I end up giving Jesus nipples and got into trouble for it.

Good man!  And jmfcst, why don't you let your poor progeny enjoy their canned salmon and deer-jerky in peace?

I think you missed the point of this particular doodle, so here is another passage that makes the same point:

Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
   because the LORD has anointed me
   to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
   to proclaim freedom for the captives
   and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
   and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
 3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
   instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
   instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
   instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
   a planting of the LORD
   for the display of his splendor.

[True Federalist]

for some it was the opportunity to get the red crayon out and draw a bloodbath (which would never have been allowed in any other drawing)

That's surprising.  There are a lot of bloody bits in both Testaments.

BTW - surely there must be someone in jmf's church who has better sense of graphic design.  This doodle tried to pack in too much text to fit the space available, and at that it failed to include a reference to Isaiah 61:3 that would help make the title make sense.

My point was, do you still feed them that canned Salmon - what was it 6 for 99 cents or something like that from Aldies?

What are you talking about? It's a perfectly fine design... for a website in the early 90's.

canned Salmon?...graphic design?

I should form a contest and give a prize to the person who guesses the topic for the next attempt at muddying the waters in order to distract from the message of this Dinner Doodle.

Just so you know, if you post a poorly designed disposable dinner placemat for children you probably shouldn't expect serious discussion. I would think your last attempt would have taught you that.

oh I know...the design is horrible and just destroys the message, right?  some people find a problem in everything, even the choice of wallpaper in the bathroom.

you can't please everyone...goats will always find a reason to butt.

Well, it is kind of hard to read the message when your eyes are constantly being drawn to the snuff film pictures.

I only hope for the sake of 'Dinner Doodles' that this constitutes fair use.

as if your tender eyes have never seen such graphic pics?  the pictures are graphic and ugly because the ugliness of sin is a topic of the doodle...so the pics help in getting the point across.

but, again, you're simply trying to distract attention to the cover and away from the content.

I wouldn't say it destroys it, but it does obscure it.  The primary fault with the latest dinner doodle is that it tries to fit into a single place mat enough to fill a whole tablecloth.

but, again, you're straining at a gnat.  the Gospel is NOT about personal preference, but rather it is about the word of God.  So, instead of focusing on the wrapper, why don't you save your objections for the content.

our church does NOT attempt to cater to those whose paramount concern is being entertained, rather we cater to those who fear God and want to hear his word.

nobody else remembers the canned salmon schtick?

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

no, I even did a search for canned salmon and didn't find a post where I ever talked about it.

...though we do occasionally eat salmon patties, which requires canned salmon.

Yes! That's it - Salmon Patties!  And you bragged about how cheap the canned salmon was.

[True Federalist]

So, instead of focusing on the wrapper, why don't you save your objections for the content.

Because there are better wrappers for the exact same content.  The content here is core Christian theology.  The Paschal lamb of Moshe was symbolic of the sacrifice that Christ would later make when he died for our sins.  Any objections to be made for the content would not be an objection to a particular interpretation, but to Christianity itself.

Judging by the dinner doodles, your church is successful in not catering.
