Sock Monkey!

This PIC is from GB#2's birthday dinner the other night at Chick-Fil-A, and you can see clearly one of the presents that she received, a Sock Monkey.  She has a few of them already but one is worn out and another is pink, so she was excited to get another "Real" Sock Monkey as a replacement.  There are lots of people who take this Sock Monkey thing seriously.  There are web sites, there is a Facebook page that you can "Like", there are festivals to attend and different exhibits found in various museums.

Anyone can take the simplest item, or the strangest ideas and create a cult following.  A few examples: The Flying Spaghetti Monster, L. Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientology, and of course the latest fiasco from Harold Camping.  These examples runs the gamut from Bazaar to Blatant disregard of the truth.  God is not a fictitious creature of imagination, nor a θ (theta), nor do His truths need to be discovered through the engineering calculations of man's wisdom and education.  Some people will bow down to the strangest things.  “Then said Jesus ... If ye continue in my word ... ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:31-32)  Monkey, Madman, Mathematics or Messiah ... Think before you bows.
