If, a week or so ago, I gave you Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy in icons, this time I present: Protestantism. There aren't as many, unfortunately, because isn't quite as much material to work with. (Blame Zwingli.)

There's nothing at all I care to have. What does that say about Protestantism? What does that say about me?

I love the little 50s kid reading! It reminds me of those kids in Dad's Bible story book, reading the Bible and looking at a globe? Perhaps planning a vacation to the Holy Land.

#9 makes me think: I antic-i-pate (beat) the inevi-tab-le (beat) super-natural (beat) intervention of God!

I anticipate -- To look forward to what is likely to occur! -- the inevitable -- That certain something bound to happen -- supernatural -- The power beyond all nature and divine (?!) -- intervention -- What comes between me and my problems, just in time!

I think it's "nature and device!"

That song reminds me of some songs that really *are* lost to us. Like: God has called a meeting! (Called a meeting! Called a meeting!) What's it all about? (What's it all abouuut?)

Ooooooooooh. I love that song.

How about: I'm his sliii-iiiide-kick. I really stick! I'm a friend that sticks closer than a brah-ah-aah-thur!

I don't know if that counts as awesome. More like annoying.

You ruined the best part though, how it's HAVE I NOT COMMANDED YOU?

Don't let anyone look down on you! Because you are YOUUUNG. Don't let anyone look down on you, because you are young. But set an example for the believers, in speech! in life! in love! But set an example! For the believers, in faith in in puuur-i-ty.First Tim-othy four, twelve!

I decided that if I was going to keep posting about religion, I needed more religious icons. So I'm taking 9. :)

I'm gonna take one of these b/c ever since I wrote my first little x-files "list," one of my story ideas involved Mulder and Scully making out behind a church. These are awesome and the song thing in this thread is hilarious!
