Of amphibians

As Christians we confess that God created with order and purpose. But our purpose as Christians is not to mimic that order but, since the fall, to rearrange it. Dominion I believe is the buzzword.

In my mind a most obvious way to determine a pagan culture is to see how closely they relate to the animal world. For instance, if dressing up in dead animal skins, smearing mud paste on your body, and having lice is part of your everyday living, you might be a pagan. Pagans also dress like animals, ie in their birthday suit (mostly).

They also form their belief system from animals.

There once was a frog named T.H. Logian
On lily pads he was a croakin'
Life was good for this intelligent guy,
From his pond he all could spy.

He had a system for everything known
Other frogs gave him a Crown.
But this king he lacked a family
That alone would make him happy.

A wife he took with due haste,
and a moments notice it was a race.
They wanted children which could replace
their righteous ways all over the place.

Oh, their plan was swell and grand,
to conquer the ponds and the land.
Just one problem you will see,
The treated their children differently.

You see frogs are tadpoles at the first,
That is why they are born immersed.
"They are not frogs dear wife of mine,
simply blank slates who mimic and mime."

To treat them now as frogs, Absurd!
They should be seen and not heard.
But they will grow and soon become frogs,
right now they're dead as wooden logs.
