Pilgrim's Progress. . . I get it, okay?

I can see why Pilgrim's Progress is so widely read. You've got action, adventure, a pilgrim named Christian, allegory. . . what more can a person want in religious material??? Bunyan even kills off a major minor character!

I assume that our contemporary version of Pilgrim's Progress would be those freaky VeggieTales. I know nothing about these guys, but I distrust computer animated TV shows. They just creep me out. And a bunch of anthropomorphic vegetables spouting off on morality and religion seems unappetizing. I mean, if vegetables are getting anthropomorphized, what the hell are we going to eat?

At least Christian kicks some devil ass. . . I doubt VeggieTales does. I seriously doubt it.
