    Also spotted at many conferences: the popular Canadian species, the Blogging Challies.

    “Post Modern Bible Thumper”…isn’t that a bit of an oxymoron?

    Anything “post modern” steers as far away from a Bible as possible, let alone “thumping” one….but perhaps the gathering for the “rare” one, uh, I get it…my gingko dosages need to be doubled.

    I thought they were trying to capture evidence of recent “Homo biblia sacra” sightings.

    These are representatives of the Doubting Thomas Audobon Society hoping to prove that birds do, after all, toil and spin.

    Are you sure that he was a “Biblethumper”,or was he just practicing his “drumming”? I have also seen the specimen that has the observers so entralled:the”common evangelifish”.No longer rare at all,it inhabits “worship centers” all across the U.S.. I believe the migratory practice they are witnessing is either a “mission trip” to Las Vegas or a “save-the-earth” project led by Deepak Chopra or Oprah.
