The reason for frog/toad hate is very old in human history, possibly prehistory. I do know some cultures in East Asia connect them to the afterlife and this might be because of some species being somewhat nocturnal and the sounds they make gives off a certain mood to people. My own feelings of them are mixed, I think they are cool but giving anything the attributes of them in anything beyond whimsical will freak me out

Rick Hound

I too, tho being a bit of a Gnostic (not agnostic) find candy stick type of black n white narratives just a bore. Except if it’s the novel “The Butcher from Nazareth” or anything by Matt Cardin. This might be because of my own path to a non-conformist faith

Fostering a Slime Dog can be very rewarding, despite the tribulation. You may even end up a Slime Dog Millionaire!

I was kind of hoping to hear Chad say my comment but Chris did a great job!

2026-09-12 22:00 On misheard idioms, my friend Pam thought the phrase was “Six of one-half, dozen of the other.” So, to her mind, people were equating two completely unequal numbers in the service of making a point. “Eh, the two scenarios are basically the same. Like 3 and 12, ya know?” Three bring 6 halfs.

It's a Ghost.

I could be wrong, but I swear it was this podcast (probably an old episode of HPPodcraft) where I first learned that the guy who created chiropractic learned it from a ghost. Because, I mean, where else would I have learned it from . . . a ghost?

To add to your Old Pal Bredan Gardiner's comment about Satan. Satan did evolve throught the Bible. In the Old Testament, the majority of the time a Satan was meant to be an accuser/obstacle/prosecutor. In 2 Samuel (I think), God sent a person and nation to be an obstacle for David and Solomon (in Hebrew, there isn't upper or lower case letters, but when the word Satan is used, it is contextually lower case, as in a satan, not The Satan). In the book of Numbers, there is a story about Balaam's talking Donkey where an angel acts as an obstacle to Balaam in which the angel is referred to a Satan. It wasn't until the book of Job where Satan is referred to as "The Satan" (or ha-Satan). It's in the New Testament (specifically the Gospels) in which Satan was his own entity. And it was in the book of Revelation in which references the Snake in the Garden of Eden as being Satan. Prior to that, the snake was just a wild animal.

This is an awesome explanation. So thorough and well put. If I may add one thing which might soften the transition from the pre-Jesus to the post-Jesus idea of a capital-A adversary personhood of Satan, such a concept was already beginning to take hold in Jewish thought around the time of Jesus. The writers of the gospels just really picked it up and ran with it. You made it plenty clear that there was a progression happening in the Jewish texts leading up to this time (actually you made it much clearer than I did in my original comment), but I wanted to chime in with this point so people didn’t have the idea that the idea of a malign, persistent and active figure of Satan was a strictly Christian innovation. It was in the air.

(Sorry to be all over this comment section, but I need to add one more thing please.) To the point you guys made about how Christianity-as-story falls short of interesting due to the fully triumphant Christ figure, I remember listening to the lion, the witch and the wardrobe audiobook on some road trip when our kids were little. At the time I still held a memory of seeing some animated version of it as an enthusiastic little Catholic boy (probably in school actually) and loving it. On that listen in the car, though, I was shocked at how quickly all the snow melted and all the bad guys lost every bit of their powers and agency as soon as the resurrected Aslan came back. The ghost lion just steamrolled through everything without flinching. I remember thinking, “This story kind of sucks.” It was great when I was little and reaching for every assurance out there that it was all true. But as an adult? I found myself looking forward to The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was our next listen. He’s awesome and preternaturally effective, but at least when his tail gets shot off, it’s off for good. That’s real life, baby.

In my comment I forgot to point out that the F13 episode you guys watched ("Tails I Live, Heads You Die") has a season 3 sequel, "Bad Penny." Three guesses what the penny refers to. I wouldn't recommend watching it unless you've also seen the two-parter start of season 3 ("The Prophecies"), as there actually is some continuity (!) that makes jumping into season 3 anywhere a little confusing (no spoilers!). "Bad Penny" isn't as memorable or entertaining as its predecessor. But if you want resolution about the Coin of Ziocles, this episode is for you.

No, I really do think a prayer is the cognate of a spell. Max Von Sydow is doing ritual magic in The Exorcist, Moses turning sticks into snakes is magic (explicitly granted by Adonai), and pretty much all of Jesus' miracles are listed as cleric spells in the Player's Handbook. More seriously, Chad, I think that just living in a Christian nation (as we do) even if you're not a Christian (as I am not, though I was raised as one), the idea of prayer is so normalized and the idea of magic so demonized, that the two are treated as separate. But if you really look at it, a prayer is absolutely a magic spell. And they're generally as successful as real magic, but think too of all the other religious traditions that utilize magic - or "magick" or whatever - and what Alistair Crowley was doing at Loch Ness when he attempted his great work (he was contacting an angel to gain ultimate power). When a priest in a short story uses a prayer to fight a demon, he's using magic powers, albeit Church approved magic powers.

If I remember correctly in the Crawling Horror they were talking about sealing up the house before talking about how you would have to invite the protoplasm in, are they not just saying that physically it cannot enter unless you let it in? Since they sealed up everything? Maybe I am misremembering.
