Jim writes, concerning John O.'s disinterest in a class that includes the
Tooth Fairy and the Son of God:
<< Ya always gotta wonder where this comes from. If you believe Christ is
equal to a tooth fairy, why not indifference instead of hostility?
Honestly, I think if we WERE talking about the Tooth Fairy or the Easter
Bunny, I don't think it'd bother you quite as much. >>
More particulary, Jim, what I sometimes wonder is why other historical or
semi-historical or pseudo-historical or fictional characters (all are
abundant) aren't often included in the same class. Jesus is so often there,
right along with the childhood holiday-characters, but seldom are they
company with Priam or Agamemnon or Ahab (the king or the captain) or Johnny
Appleseed or Gregor Samsa.
