His desire for food is only outweighed by his love for God…but it’s a really close call.
↓ TranscriptAmos: Everyone has a part to play in God's plan.
Nim: Even me?
Amos: Of course.
Nim: So what's my part?
Amos: I don't know. That's between you and God.
Nim: Are there a lot of lines? Is it a juicy part? Do I need an agent?
↓ TranscriptAmos: Con says we shouldn't do things that are wrong, even if our friends are doing it.
Nim: That's right, Amos.
Nim: We can't allow ourselves to cave in to peer pressure.
Nim: I mean, if everyone else is jumping off a bridge, would you do it too?
Amos: That depends. Are they throwing cupcakes off that bridge?
↓ TranscriptAmos: What's with the headgear?
Nim: It's my tin-foil hat. The Bible says we should be kind to aliens, so I'm just preparing myself for when their flying saucers get here.
Amos: But the aliens the Bible refers to are people from other countries.
Nim: You are so naive, my friend! Other countries don't even HAVE flying saucers.
↓ TranscriptNim: Professor Amos, Con says we can use good to conquer evil.
Amos: Con is right. That's what the Bible tells us in Romans 12.
Nim: Okay...so let me see if I've got this straight.
Nim: Rock beats scissors, scissors beats paper & good beats evil.
↓ TranscriptAmos: Nim, how did you enjoy the baptism in church today?
Nim: Oh, it was all right, but if you ask me, it needed bigger production value. Lots of flash! Maybe do something cool with the lighting.
Amos: Ummm...
Nim: I've got it! Sound effects!!!
Amos: I don't think...
Nim: I BAPTISE YOU! ZING!!! POW!!!
↓ TranscriptAbby: I'm listening to the church podcast!
Abby: Do you ever listen to it?
Amos: No. I like kickin' it old-school!
Amos: I just sit my pod down in a pew every Sunday and listen to the preacher.
↓ TranscriptNim: What's up, Amos? Why aren't you dressed for exploring?
Nim: We said we were going to look for hidden treasure.
Amos: I know.
Amos: But I gave it a lot of thought and I realized something.
Amos: I've already found my treasure in the Bible.
↓ TranscriptCon: I hear you told Nim food has no calories if eaten in church.
Amos: That's right!
Con: No, that's wrong. Food always has calories.
Amos: Really? Oh, well. No harm, no foul.
Con: Then I guess you haven't seen him?
Amos: Seen who?
Nim: Hi guys, what's shaking?
↓ TranscriptAmos: I can't wait for the church dinner this week!
Amos: I'm going to have 2 hamburgers, a giant plate of fries, some of those big pickles, a couple of chocolate milks and two...no...three desserts!
Nim: Hon on, Amos...I thought you were on a diet. That's a lot of calories.
Amos: I am. But food you eat in church doesn't have any calories.
Nim: Hot dog!
↓ TranscriptAmos: This diet has me thinking about the forbidden fruit.
Con: Wow! That's a great way to relate your experience to the Bible, Amos. You know, no one knows what fruit it really was. The idea of it being an apple is just legend. Some scholars even say it's a fruit that no longer exists.
Con: What kind of fruit do you think it might have been?
Amos: I'll bet it was chocolate fruit.
