"Why do people choose the substitute over God himself? Probably the most important reason is that it obviates accountability to God. We can meet idols on our own terms because they are our own creations. They are safe, predictable, and controllable; they are, in Jeremiah's colorful language, the 'scarecrows in a cornfield' (10:5). They are portable and completely under the user's control. They offer nothing like the threat of a God who thunders from Sinai and whose providence in this world so often appears to us to be incomprehensible and dangerous . . . [People] need face only themselves. That is the appeal of idolatry."

I was cleaning out an old crate tonight and found these two picture prints. These are from one of our first Moots, I'm guessing from the late 90s or early 2000s, pre-blog.
We were young. Actually, the other guys still are young, and basically haven't changed a bit. I've, unfortunately, gone from spry, to venerable, to geezer, to coot in the intervening years.
Gosh, these were good times.
I think this Moot was at the original BloDingle
Rod, rocking the Blackaby

I think you guys were debunking him (with Shrode enthusiastically joining in, though in absentia (and never having actually done the study :-) )
I was defending my boy HB.

Moot? Looks like Pepsi, to me.
Seriously, though - this is awesome.
