About

I don’t know that I’m personally all that interesting, but I like to write about various topics, and I hope other people who are interested in such things will want to see my take. Topics I address include mythology, books (especially L. Frank Baum’s Oz series), music, religion (generally from a skeptical point of view), video games, and contemporary issues.

    Morning. I came across your website looking for early church persecution. Noticed the pic on the front page of woman reaching for the forbidden fruit. Not to be critical, but Eve did not have any clothes on as of yet. Because Adam and Eve did not recognize they were naked until after they had eaten the fruit and sinned against God. Be very careful the images that you would depict because every idle word we give account of in the day of judgement and stricter judgement for teachers.
    Thanks

    Nathan your lastest blog is hysterical! When I played Put Down the Ducky my dog went crazy and kept running back and forth through the room. It finally hit me that he thought one of his squeeker toys was stuck in the computer. And that bit about Santorum, priceless. Don’t go away, Okay?

      Thanks! I’ll try not to go away.

      That story about the dog and the rubber duckie reminds me of how one of our dogs freaked out upon hearing the barking dog version of “Jingle Bells.”

    Hi! I just binge read a bunch of your more mythological/beastiary posts — along with one on the Temptation of St. Augustine (since I had just finished the book) — which were all really good! I was curious if you had a folder perhaps or a condensed resource on your thoughts/gatherings on all the creatures you’ve read about located on this blog or somewhere else online? And I know you said you don’t find yourself that interesting haha, but I was wondering if this blog is a side project and if you studied (academically) mythology or science fiction? Sorry for all the questions, but again it’s been a pleasure to read several of your posts and I’m glad you are continuing to post (I’ll read your one on terrifier 3 next, as soon as I myself watch the film, for better or for worse).

      I guess a lot of the creature-related ones would be under the Monsters tag, but it’s true that I have a somewhat haphazard approach to tagging on here. I probably should do a bit more to organize things, for my sake as much as anyone else’s. And no, I’m not currently studying anything academically. I have had some related classes in the past, but that was a long time ago. I do this for fun, although if anyone learns anything from it, that’s all the better. Thanks for the comments!

    Hi! Just out of curiosity, I had posted a comment a few days ago about your work/posts, but I do not see it here. Was it somehow deleted on my end? If it was on your end, I apologize if anything I asked was too personal. Either way, I’ve been enjoying reading several of your posts on mythical creatures and the one on The Temptation of St. Anthony.
