Theology of Sight.

Scene. The Breakfast table.

A: "I just dropped some food on the floor, and I'm not going to pick it up."
J: "I think M would be very disappointed if you didn't. And so would I."
A (matter-of-factly): "When you guys are dead I'm going to drop food on the floor all the time."
J (channeling Calvin's Mom): "Oh."
A: "Would you mind?"
J (using a Jehovah voice): "We would. We would look down from Heaven and see you dropping food and we would mind terribly!"
A: "No you wouldn't, because when you're dead you don't have any eye balls."

The discussion degenerated into a back-and-forth nuh-uh/uh-huh theology debate.
