| | | Same guy wrote "Gospel According to Peanuts." At least with CSchultz there was some overt religious connections. I'm not sure any such thing can be predicated of "Dr.Seuss".
But this is classic Barthian view of revelation: God can use even a "dead dog" as an agent. If it makes a nice connection in your mind, it must be God talking.

| | He was never shy about his beliefs 
I doubt that if he were alive today he would support Christianity, though. He sued an anti abortion group for using his phrases.

| | | It seems very fashionable to find something "Christian" in every facet of popular culture, from the Matrix to all the latest movies.
Why?

Why? | Because it makes people feel "religious" without having to read the actual book that contains the Gospel. | | The Following User Says Thank You to Backwoods Presbyterian For This Useful Post: | | |
