cookie cutters for God's sake
I’m sure we’re all familiar with the story of Elisha and the She-Bears, from 2 Kings 2:23-24:
“[Elisha] went up from there to Bethel; and while he was going up on the way, some small boys came out of the city and jeered at him, saying, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” And he turned around, and when he saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. And two she-bears came out of the woods and tore forty-two of the boys.”
A real barnstormer, that.
Meanwhile, I think Robert Heinlein mentioned this passage in about half his books. However, he wasn’t the only person to find this passage an inspiration… In the 18th century, some pious lunatic decided that this was the perfect scene to immortalize and emblazoned on a cookie mold. Because, clearly, there’s nothing that will make children happier, confident, and secure than when they get their treat with a reminder to respect their elders – or else.
The link will take you to the site of “House on a Hill”, a hearty and ferocious crew bent on helping to produce a modern facsimile. So you and your kids can share the type of experience that their therapists can spend years unpacking, all for the low price of $65.
If they offer a bulk discount, I’m sure Hemant Mehta would want one, too.
Peace be to my Brothers and Sisters.

YOU ARE AWARE YOU ARE SINNNING. IT IS THE WILL OF GOD THAT ALL PEOPLE WILL REPENT AND HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. IN THE DAYS OF JESUS, PEOPLE LIKE YOU WERE THERE. YOU CAN NOT TOUCH THE ANNOINTED AND EXPECT TO LIVE ETERNALLY. YOU BETTER DO WHAT YOU MUST OR YOU WILL SUFFER ETERNAL FIRE.
Dude… Do you read my Blog (I understand this hapless fellow thinks I am an atheist. Obviously I am not.)? It’s people like you and pedophile Priests that make my point (okay… at least some of my points).
I am fairly busy. However, in all manners of good vs. evil – or, maybe just Truth and Light, I can carve out some time. Call me at 877-207-1109 and I am happy to discuss the merits of your email. Or, I am also willing to pay for your flight over here to Atlanta and we can wrestle. By the way, who is really responsible for those billboards in Florida?”
