In the thread below on the New Testament, you mentioned a Yale course available through iTunes. You might also be interested in Paul Freedman’s Early Middle Ages course. I just finished it and enjoyed it very much. Of relevance to this blog, he covers the various heresies of the late Roman and early Byzantine period extensively. http://oyc.yale.edu/history/hist-210
By the way — do you know a free software called “Pencil”? Pencil is an animation/drawing software which lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics. Pencil is free and open source.
If atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby.
Since 2008, NonStampCollector has been making anti-theistic videos on youtube, criticizing as many aspects of Christianity as stick-figures and bubble-headed cartoon caricatures will allow.
After being ‘born again’ as a teenager, then enduring a slow, drawn-out, miserable deconversion, he did little about his atheism until discovering the work of Christopher Hitchens in 2007, and immediately joining the debate. A short time later, an imaginary dialogue between God and an atheist, literally scribbled on the back of an envelope, came to be the script of the first of over 50 youtube videos pointing out the shortcomings of Christian theology and apologetics that have accumulated more than seven million views.
From Sydney, Australia, now living in western Japan.
Next week maybe.

The word “cartoon” originally referred to a pencil sketch outlining figures on a canvas to guide the artist in applying paint.
So what word can we use to describe a sketch used to outline the first draft of … a cartoon?
