Where would anyone get the idea that you studied the Bible? Twenty-five years of not understanding is still not understanding.

At first I thought it might be a Scientology tract, except that it made too much sense.

The names in this piece could use some polishing. Add some Celtic sounding ones (with a good 'ch' bit of sounding in them of course), perhaps Icelandic, some Old English, and a few Latin derivatives. Sounds to much like a cheap science fiction piece as is.

I know the really exceptionally brain dead religions have their humor value, but can we just delete this bandwidth consuming spam, please?

And why is this is Extended News?!?!?!?!

The Tale of Peter Rabbit (and Benjamin Bunny)
The LEPORIDAE REBELLION

Peter Rabbit, unlike sisters Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail, is following the advice of his tummy (and his cousin, Benjamin) versus the advice of his mother. Everyone (and we mean everyone!) knows that you stay out of Mr. McGregor's garden. But Peter and Benjamin still venture into a world filled with excitement, adventure and scrumptious vegetables! The thrills are just beginning when the angry farmer spots the silly bunnies. From the beginning, you and your audiences will meet other fun characters such as Caw and Kem, the two silly crows who know that a picket fence could never stop a bird. And who can forget the easy-going Cat, just waiting around the garden for her own meal. And, of course, there's Mr. McGregor, the angry, befuddled farmer, who is willing to go to great lengths to protect his garden. This sparkling musical adaptation of Potter's wonderful story is filled with delightful tunes that will make everyone smile. From Mr. McGregor's "This Is War," and Caw and Kem's "Bugs and Berries," to the beloved finale of "The Family That Sings Together," this will have your audiences hopping with delight.

This stuff is actually fairly widespread. I have run across it several times in the business community.

One of the things I have never been able to do is get an accurate or even informed discussion of its provenance. Where did this come from? When did it appear? What would give anyone the idea that it had anything to do with reality?

I will say also that having looked at it in a somewhat cursory way, there are at least several places where it outright flies in the face of the litteral Word although not having a copy of the material at hand any more I cannot cite chapter and verse.

I would also point out that conceptually, the organization of the documents assumes the validity of the Augustianian foundation of Covenant Theology--Satan was bound for the thousand years at the death of Jesus Christ; that the thousand years has been extended because of the failure of mankind to do what we were directed to do and spread the Word everywhere; that there is no tribulation to come; no end of the Church Age on Earth; no rapture; and no finite expected visible physical return of Jesus Christ.

Now I do not want to offend anyone here who is a Covenant Theologist. However at this point, I think it is a reasonable position that Darby was correct--Dispensationalism is a reasonable analysis of the words without regard to the facts on the ground (pretty hard to believe that the devil is in chains somewhere) and the events as they unfold seem to be those which Darby and the Dispensationalists tell us to expect.

Thus these guys are pitching the idea that they have the word of truth from one who knows all but the truth they are pitching seems to be founded on a doctrine that is being eliminated by the facts on the ground.

So does anyone know where this stuff comes from? Or where it is supposed to have originated in deep dark history?

Oh really? Well I heard they were defeated when Capt. Kirk teamed up with Capt.s Janeway and Picard, that Luciferian technology never could stand up to syncronized photon torpedo and phaser fire, especially lacking modern multi-layered deflector shielding. Hell, (no pun intended) all they had were Enterprise type (Scott Bakula) polarized hull plating, what, do you think we`ll believe anything? I`m outa here, BEAM ME UP SCOTTY!

Sounds like this was suspiciously ripped straight from the pages of the Diablo manual, courtesy of Blizzard Entertainment. At any rate, they had a better story of the "Rebellion". And they make great games too!
