Christianity Explained

If you’ve been following the Roberts hearings, you may be baffled by some of the legal lingo. Strict constructionism? Stare decisis? And you may have gathered that the nominee is an adherent of a religion called “Christianity.” What the hell is that?

Bob and Betty Jacks (with Ron Wormser, Sr.) provide a pithy and useful diagram that explains all—including all those “Left Behind” movies—in Your Home a Lighthouse: Hosting an Evangelistic Bible Study, a book Alexandra, my non-Platonic roommate, picked up somewhere.

The full diagram is after the jump. Game geeks might notice a startling resemblance to the RPG spoof Kingdom of Loathing. Philosophy geeks, on the other hand, might notice that the Jacks seem to be working with a rather primitive understanding of eternity when they depict Bob’s dead grandmother getting to heaven “first.”
