One More Thing I Love Thursday
Apparently, there was a story on ABC news on kids drawings of God. There are the usual, man on a throne, big white beard, long white, hair, drawings of Jesus, Buddha, and oh yeah, Goku from Dragon Ball Z!
I'm so extremely amused that 1. a kid might believe that the face of God is Goku, but mostly it's the fact that 2. no one in the news noticed!! Actually, it's probably all 2. It's not really a bad thing to have a character like Goku as a role model, if the goal is to raise a kid to have an identity that wants to fight for justice, then why not? He's got a good heart, a solid group of friends and family, a strong sense of right and wrong, and he's used his strength to save the universe. Yeah the series is cheesy and full of yelling, and Goku's pretty much as dumb as a very sweet brick, but I can't help feel that this kid's on the right path to becoming an interesting adult with probably a very good sense of humor.
Anyway, you go kid! I would totally fist bump you and draw you a picture of Goku if I knew who you were. To any one who wants to see it, you can find the link here: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/book-religion-examines-ways-americans-perceive-god/story?id=11825319
