How do you know? I imagine the life of a shrub is rather boring. Standing in one spot your entire life. When the winter comes, you strip down and get naked. How much could one enjoy that? Maybe they welcome it.

There's only one way to settle this. We need a shrubbery.

One that looks nice.

And not too expensive.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.

Yes, shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Roger the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.

Yeah, a bunch of fables written down millennia ago by ancient Arabs is much more credible.

Where do I buy these carbon credits, and will they protect me from the sweltering midwestern summer?

A short allegorical narrative making a moral point, traditionally by means of animal characters who speak and act like human beings.

They're more like fairy tales.

Debo,

It'd really help if you knew what fables are.


1.
a short tale to teach a moral lesson, often with animals or inanimate objects as characters; apologue: the fable of the tortoise and the hare; Aesop's fables.
2.
a story not founded on fact: This biography is largely a self-laudatory fable.
3.
a story about supernatural or extraordinary persons or incidents; legend: the fables of gods and heroes.

All seem applicable. Smiley: nod

You know, I'd say varus's posts are like stream-of-consciousness, but that would imply he's conscious.

Han Solo was frozen in carbonite so I'm guessing "yes".

Now that you have a basic understanding tell me how this applies to the bible?

The bible is a collection of short allegorical narratives making moral points.

I know you don't like to read, but I did say they're more like fairy tales and not fables. I'd say keep up, but that'd be condescending to your condition of being mentally incapable of ever doing so.
