Going off topic here for the week-end: I ran across this blog today which posed the humorously hypothetical question of what would happen in if popular religious icons were to “duke it out.” This of course was done soley for the purpose of humor. I’m posting a couple of my favorite categories here…feel free to head over to the Ted Wins blog to cast your votes for the winners. (disclaimer: the author of divinesatisfaction.com is in no way endorsing all opinions found on this blog)
