Better writers than Robin have already done great riffs on search engine results—see here and here, for example. But we were intrigued by the results peculiar to our site. So, below are some search engine phrases that were reported to us, along with the pages on RHO that they led to. Since Robin has to have a word in everything, her comments are in purple.
This phrase took the reader -- to this page on RHO
spells to keep scorpions out of house [from the weird capital of the world, Austin, Texas] -- The Scorpion Underfoot
Just try keeping your drains stopped. That should work.
pride and prejudice george macdonald c.s.lewis -- Robin's Reading List
Um, I hope the reading list cleared up the question of which man is the author of Pride and Prejudice.
little red riding hood the bible version -- Bauers' Ukraine Trip
Okay, now I've heard it all. You people have to start cracking your Bibles to find out what's really in there.
was hamlet's character believable or not? -- Hamlet
Eh, let's see. We're talking about the protagonist in what many authorities consider to be the greatest
piece of literature in the English language. I vote yes.
if i accept jesus as my savior can i still live a worldly life? -- What Is Salvation?
That's like asking, "Once I take a shower, can I still live in the LaBrea Tar Pits?"
can a saved person go to heaven if they committ sucide -- What Is Salvation?
I don't know. All I know is that God is merciful, and if early Christians were baptized on behalf of someone who had died, then praying for
someone who has committed suicide cannot be wrong.
profanity that is listed in the bible -- Feedback
Actually, there's a lot, especially in the KJV. Here's one of my favorites.
stephanie cole paradise lost -- Paradise Lost
Ah, yes, the authority. It rather pains me to admit that her essay is this site's #1 search-engine destination.
how to say goodbye to your pastor -- Fun With Search Engines
That depends. Did he jump or was he pushed?
why does the bible says "if it is hard for the righteous to be
saved" -- What Is Salvation?
because we are in mortal danger of taking that salvation for granted
the unutterable profanity -- Feedback
Oh, let me assure you that it's been uttered
repeatedly, and probably on the public airways.
did i lost my inheritance to my dad's new wife -- Letters from the Flood
Sorry. Maybe you should look for your inheritance elsewhere.
what constitutes mild profanity -- Feedback
I don't know anymore. A few years ago
I edited words like "butt" and "crap" out of the Sammy books--then heard those same words in Ice Age 2. So I'm guessing that mild profanity is what you hear from a four-year-old before he (a) goes to school and picks up
more advanced words, or (b) learns to pay attention to the R-rated movies he's seeing.
does god heal animals -- Another Dog Story
Yes. In Pet Tales, Lowell Streiker relates a wonderful story about the time his old dog Gus was diagnosed with an
"idiopathic condition" and placed on life support. Here's what happened when Rev. Lowell went to see him for the last time:
And then I prayed. I said something like this: "God, I don't
know if it's proper for me to pray for my dog. It seems selfish somehow. But he is a wonderful friend and I wonder if you could find it in your heart to give him back to me for just a little while. I'm not ready to say goodbye
to him just yet. I need him."
Suddenly Gus began trembling as he pushed his front elbows into the kennel floor. In a few seconds he was on his feet. His head listing bizarrely to one side, he shambled and slid toward me, his muzzle lifted to receive a pat on the head. (pp. 43-45) Buy the book to find out why God answered Rev. Lowell's prayer.
heaven is a place on earth -- Dorothy L. Sayers
If that's true, then we're all toast.
is buddhist meditation incompatible with christianity -- Dialogue with a Zen Master
Personally, I think it is, yes.
christians reading secular books with profanity -- Feedback
The profanity really
isn't the worst thing about some secular books--it's the nihilism, the belief that there is no meaning or purpose in life. So you need to look at more than isolated words to determine the worth of a book.
why does god send a worm to kill the plant in the book of jonah -- Short Studies: Jonah
To expose Jonah's hard, shallow heart, in my opinion. (We get a lot of queries on Jonah. See another here.)
"questions to ask about a poem" -- Writing Fiction
(1) Who wrote it? (2) When? (3) Under what circumstances? (4) What did the author say about it? (5) Does it mean anything to me? (6) Then why am I reading it? (7) What am I willing to do to get a good
grade on my paper about the poem? (8) How much can I pilfer from this website article about the poem without getting caught?
short stories of sexually seducing your husband -- Feedback
If you find what
you're looking for, there will be fun in Spring Branch, Texas, tonight. But if you have time for a book, I (and many shocked readers) highly recommend Nicole of Prie Mer.
bible look up if you do not obey me out of love at least obey me out of fear -- What Is Salvation?
I think you have the Good Book confused with that dark yet thrilling Victorian novel, The Orderly House of
Lord Harvesham-Pettimore before His Family Rose Up and Hacked Him to Death with His Walking Stick.
robin hardy wicker man chataine -- Books Page
Please pay attention: two
different Robin Hardys. A third RH wrote The Crisis of Desire and Call of the Wendigo; a fourth wrote Don Juan, and a fifth wrote one or more of the other books listed under Robin Hardy. Yes, I should have
used a pseudonym.
indiana jones "it's time to ask yourself what you believe" -- Frodo the Magnificent
One of the greatest movie lines ever, and a perfect miniature portrait of faith. We act on what we believe, and if we don't act on it, we don't believe it.
how to know when your pastor needs a vacation -- Sammy: On Vacation
I'd say it's a dead giveaway when he cries in the pulpit.
angel holding sword above devil painting -- Death and the Miser
"St. Michael and the Dragon" (from Rev. 12:7) has been
one of the great themes of art throughout history, so you have a lot of paintings to choose from. Here's a sample.
the true hero of paradise lost is satan not adam and why give reasons? -- Paradise Lost
What professor where is requiring you to support a false premise? Give reasons.
paradise lost; satan, god's pawn (from Westfield State College, MA) -- Paradise Lost
From the thousands of hits we've gotten on Paradise Lost, somebody finally got it exactly right! Hooray!
how do we know jonah is a real historical person? -- Short Studies: Jonah
Because the psychology is right from every angle: Jonah receives a divine commission, doesn't like it, and skips town. God pursues. Jonah gets caught in his disobedience; God rescues him. Jonah fulfills his
obligation griping, whining, and dragging his feet; God tries to reason with him. The skepticism aroused by an incidental miracle should be completely offset by the recognition of a classic bad attitude. The whole thing has the
ring of truth.
dallas detective test -- Sammy: Dallas Detective
This
is a public service announcement to keep me out of trouble with the Dallas Police: Sammy is fiction. The books have no relation to the real DPD. You can find out about their recruiting requirements here. Good luck.
fear of losing salvation -- What Is Salvation?
If it's important enough to you that you're afraid of losing it, then you don't have anything to worry about.
things that can hinder us from serving god -- Great Quotations
(1) disobedience (2) faithlessness (3) unwillingness to accept correction (4) fear (5) lack of focus (6) ingratitude--all of which can be rolled into (1), which stems from lovelessness.
underwater victim (from the Russian Federation Space and Cosmic Radiations Depts.) -- Frodo Photos
do baptist think catholics are going to hell -- What Church Do
You Attend?
I regret to tell you yes, some do.
satan as a christ figure in paradise lost (from New York Univ.) -- Paradise Lost
does no one read the Bible anymore? does anyone have a clue what a Christ figure is? excuse me while I go cry.
why in your opinion does bunyan write an apology for his book the pilgrim progress (from Karachi, Pakistan) -- A Very Short Course in Writing Fiction
because he was getting a lot of criticism for it
