Science's Love Affair with The Lord of the Rings, from taxonomic commemoration to the topics of journal article.

 

“You can't save her. Only Jesus can. He'll help you too. Ask him.” Interesting lifeline thrown out to Don Draper in last Sunday’s Mad Men. Remember that when it all ends sadly in a couple of weeks.

Well, what did we expect….? Christ suffered ‘outside the gate,’ as an outcast, beyond the city wall. Why should we be any different? As the Scripture says, ‘Let us go forth to him outside the camp, and bear the abuse he endured’ (Hebrews 13:13). It’s time. Let’s go.”
