Yes, you read the heading correctly. Read Job 41, the description of Leviathan, only this time put aside your preconceived notion that a fire breathing dragon is only a mythical creation and not one of God's pets created before man in the Ordo Creatis (or however scholars would term Genesis 1 & 2 in Latin...you know, the dead language that's supposed to make you sound really smart).
Oh, yeah, I have another recommendation...rent "Reign of Fire," with Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughy! Great action flick with Quinn and the chick pilot, Alex, holding hands in the last scene! (Quitcher whining...you'll see it's a chick flick 5 minutes after they first meet!!) My favorite line in the flick is said by Creedy (Gerard Butler, who also played King Leonidas in "300", Attila in the movie of the same name, and the Phantom in "Phantom of the Opera.") McGonaughy is driving up in his tank and Creedy says, "The only thing worse than a dragon is an American!" (He could be right...we're the only nation to drop an a-bomb on anyone so far in history!!)
The funny thing is how the writer of the movie explains how dragons can breathe fire...natural napalm that is entirely possible in God's way of creating things. Heck, I knew guys in college who used to burn the natural methane gas they produced at their hind ends, so why couldn't a dragon simply produce the necessary chemicals at the fore end?!!
OH, Yeah...I also think Job's description of Behemoth is much closer to a Brontosaurus than it is to the standard explanation of a hippopotamus! Come on scholars, get with MY program, wouldja?!! (Renting "Jurassic Park" is optional, but the newest "King Kong" is pretty slick if you want some feisty dinosaur action.)
Got popcorn this weekend?
